Your not linking (-l...) to the library that contains glutMainLoop() . I'm
not sure what the library would be as I have never used open/gl, but it
maybe that you need to append this

-lgl

on the end of

$ gcc -Wall -o test
test.c -L/usr/local/lib/GL -L/usr/local/lib/GLU -L/usr/local/lib/GLUT

As you said here is not really the place to ask this. The better alternative
to the cygwin ml would be perhaps the gcc-users list. Take a look at
<http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html> , there should be a relavent list there.
Also take a look at the README/INSTALL that came with MESA which might tell
you exactly what libs you need to link with ;-)
