Thanks for the advice. However, since I am building a cross-compiler,
I'm not sure its pertinent: gcc/config/i386/cygwin32.h doesn't
get used.

My question was actually: should configure fixed to add -ladvapi32?
Or should the compiler on my system do that automatically? I think
you have answered that my compiler should do that automatically,
and that I should edit my specs file
