Error: 0-bit reloc in dll

I am building a Python 2.3 extension module in Cygwin using gcc version 3.3.1 (cygming special) with binutils version 2.14.90. The DLL is a port of Solaris code and links in Sybase OpenClient Windows DLLs (and other DLLs) via import libraries that I make with strings and dlltool. The DLL also links with the X Windows libraries because the ported code references those libraries. Note the error report in the middle of the X windows import fixups (see link line below). I have no problem building a "toy" Python extension on Cygwin using similar rules. Other possibly relevant factors include the large size of the tt_wrap.o object and the need for repeating libraries on the link line thanks to interlibrary dependencies:

What causes this and what can I do about it? Thanks for any insight you can provide.
