FWIW, the cygwin gcc seems to work fine building the gtkmm demos, both 
with-and-without the "-mno-cygwin" flag.  Building K-3D using 
"-mno-cygwin" changes the output slightly, but the link problems persist 
- here is a representative sample, easier to read than the first:

.libs/main_document_window.o(.text$_ZN3k3d7vector3ixEi+0x2c):main_document_window.cpp: 
undefined reference to `__assert'

.libs/radial_menu.o(.text+0x1936):radial_menu.cpp: undefined reference 
to `_gdk_window_get_pointer'

What's striking is that all of the problem symbols are "C" functions, so 
I'm looking into C/C++ linkage issues.

Yes, I'm using gtkglext that is part of the all-in-one glade/gtk installer.

Many thanks,
