I've found a workaround in using a specific linker script, which places all 
rdata symbols into the data section of the dll 

Copy the attached file into $QTDIR/mkspecs/cygwin-g++ and use the following 
link line (designed for qmake generated Makefiles) for compiling the qt and 
any other related dlls. 

make  LINK="g++ -Wl,--script $QTDIR/mkspecs/cygwin-g++/i386pe.x-no-rdata"

It would be glad if you can reports if this works for you. If it does I will 
add this script to the cygwin-g++ qt specs. 

BTW: Using the -fdata-sections options will be required too. 

Regards 
Ralf
