Is there a reason that the piecewise linking ld script is named 
"xxxxx.lnk"?  That extension is used on windows to represent shortcuts 
(and cygwin overloads it to represent symlinks).  Hence, the following 
pdemo failure:

libtool: link: creating reloadable object files...
libtool: link: creating GNU ld script: .libs/libhello.la.lnk
gcc -shared .libs/libhello.la.lnk   -o .libs/cyghello-2.dll 
-Wl,--image-base=0x10000000 -Wl,--out-implib,.libs/libhello.dll.a
Creating library file: .libs/libhello.dll.a
rm -f
libtool: link: using piecewise archive linking...
ar cru .libs/libhello.a longer_file_name_hello.o
: .libs/libhello.a
ar cru .libs/libhello.a longer_file_name_foo.o
: .libs/libhello.a
ar cru .libs/libhello.a longer_file_name_foo2.o
ranlib .libs/libhello.a
libtool: link: creating libhello.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libhello.la && ln -s ../libhello.la libhello.la)
ln: creating symbolic link `libhello.la' to `../libhello.la': File exists

That is, the file "libhello.la.lnk" already exists (but it isn't a 
symlink; it's the GNU ld script).

Further, why is "demo-make.test" a prereq for "pdemo-inst.test"?

Making the following changes allow pdemo-exec and pdemo-inst to work on 
cygwin:
