That's not a problem because libtool encloses the noinst libs with
- -Wl,--{,no-}whole-archive, allowing for just this situation.

That should not be necessary.  The following patch fixes the build of
gpgme-1.1.2 on cygwin:

http://cygwin-ports.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/cygwin-ports/ports/libs/gpgme/gpgme-1.1.2-1.src.patch

A similar patch may be necessary for libgpgme_pth_la_LDFLAGS; pth isn't
part of the distro however, so I haven't tried it.

(If the above is true, you can just remove the $(no_undefined)
conditional and use '-no-undefined' throughout.)
