cygwin linking model

Hi,
I have a question about cygwin, and no clear answer anywhere.

It seems like cygwin follows the windows DLL linking model, that is it's
not possible to create a DLL containing unresolved symbols. One should link
in all the libraries containing all used symbols.

Anybody knows if this behaviour, which is different from gcc/unix, can be
overriden by command line switches?
Passing -Wl,--unresolved-symbols=ignore-all or -Wl,--allow-shlib-underfined
has no effect.

TIA,
Volodya
