It still requires the cygwin1.dll:
$ g++ -v
...
gcc version 4.5.0 (GCC)
$ g++ test.c -o test -static
$ ldd test.exe
...
cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000)
...
And apparently the only alternative is mingw, see:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.static-linking
"it is not possible to statically link with a Cygwin library to obtain an
independent, self-contained executable. "
$ i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -v
...
gcc version 4.5.1 (GCC)
$ i686-w64-mingw32-g++ test.c -o test -static
$ ldd test.exe
ntdll.dll => ... path to Windows dlls
kernel32.dll => ...
KERNELBASE.dll => ...
msvcrt.dll => ...
(I.e. no dependencies on anything besides system dlls.)
