well, I finally solved the problem, it was really a WKP
(Well Known Problem :-).
if anybody it's interested, the solution is available at:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-08/msg00256.html

you need to download dll_entry.o, then do:

    ar cru /usr/lib/libcygwin.a dll_entry.o
    ranlib /usr/lib/libcygwin.a

then rebuild perl, and everything goes smooth :-)

I'll try to work on porting Win32::GUI under GCC (if time
permits).


cheers,
Aldo
