gcc: How does gcc look for foo.dll in `gcc ... -lfoo'?

I'm confused since the gcc documentation says that the only thing that `-lfoo' does, is that it allows gcc to look for `libfoo.a' while linking. But what about the shared libraries (DLLs)? It seems to me that gcc looks for `libfoo.dll', `cygfoo.dll', `foo.dll' and may be for all these plus `.a'
