Hmmm...I think that crt0.o is for cygwin builds, crt1.o is for builds which use "cygwin-gcc -mno-cygwin" with a crt.dll runtime target, and crt2.o is for builds which use "cygwin-gcc -mno-cygwin" with an msvcrt.dll runtime target.

If I'm right, cygwin's gcc recently changed so that the msvcrt runtime was the default target for -mno-cygwin builds; but that would just mean that crt1.o was replaced by crt2.o. Since cygwin builds (-mwindows notwithstanding) use crt0.o, this change would have no effect on cygwin builds. Hmm...
