Obvious linking error, telling you that you are doing it wrong.

Developing with R on Windows is tedious, as you have to play by the rules:

  - install RTools, make sure PATH etc are correct

  - open a cmd.com window (or, equally, an MSys/MinGW window alloing you a
    bash shell, but be carefule about $path here too) 

  - run 'make -f Makefile.win'

That works, and is supported. For everything else, you are on your own. That
includes Cygwin builds.
