There it is: $ cat ext/Win32CORE/hints/cygwin.pl [...] $self->{LIBS} = [q{ -L/lib/w32api -lnetapi32 -lwininet -lversion -lmpr -lodbc32 -lodbccp32 -lwinmm -lstdc++ -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomctl32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -lntdll }]; [...]
Now the question is which of these libs can be removed and which needs to stay?
I believe the real underlying cause is that /lib/w32api/libntdll.a contains a atoi function header (I see that in http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/w32api/lib/ntdll.def?cvsroot=src together with a zillion other WinNT/2K/XP functions). This is wrong because Win9x have only a very limited set of functions in ntdll.dll.
Or, if you prefer, indiscriminate linking to ntdll.dll in all Windows versions is the actual culprit.
