what to use in place of libutil.so?


I'm trying to build Unison version 2.9.99.  Compilation succeeds, but 
the link step fails with

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lutil

after running a gcc command that includes '-lutil'.  I've searched the 
Cygwin packages, and it does seem that there's no file libutil.a or 
libutil.so in any of them.  On other platforms, this is a standard 
library.

So is there some other library that I should use in place of libutil.* 
on Cygwin?  I tried 'ln -s libcygwin.a /usr/lib/libutil.a' (what the 
hell, it was worth a shot) but it failed.

Other people have asked about this same problem in other forums, but I 
haven't seen any of them get an answer.

Thanks,
Andrew.
