OpenGL does not render when linked with -mno-cygwin

["Arvind N" <arvnit at hotmail dot com>]

I am using g++ Version 3.3.3 on a Windows XP box to write a program that 
draws mathematical functions as graphs. The program works fine when I 
compile and link without -mno-cygwin and the graphs are rendered fine. 
However, if I add -mno-cygwin to the compile line and "-L/usr/lib/mingw 
-lstdc++" to the link line, all I get is a black screen. I am using GLUT to 
create the window and the menus and all of those work fine but there is 
nothing rendered into the window. I do not get any errors either.

I do not get any compiler/linker warnings or errors when I compile with 
-mno-cygwin. Are there any dependencies that OpenGL has with cygwin1.dll? 
The link line uses the libraries in the order "-lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32" 
which seems to be what the documentation says.

Here are the cygcheck outputs with and without mno-cygwin:

* With mno-cygwin:

mathgraph.exe:
 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
 C:\WINDOWS\system32\GLU32.DLL
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\OPENGL32.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\DDRAW.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\DCIMAN32.dll
 C:\WINDOWS\system32\glut32.dll
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\WINMM.dll

* Without mno-cygwin
mathgraph.exe:
 C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
 C:\WINDOWS\system32\GLU32.DLL
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\OPENGL32.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\DDRAW.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\DCIMAN32.dll
 C:\WINDOWS\system32\glut32.dll
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\WINMM.dll

I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks in advance,
Arvind
