Actually it means that --export-dynamic is passed to the linker ld,
it's explained in this thread

http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/2002-11/msg00114.html

and short and sweet here:

http://www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-gcc/1998-Jun/0005.html

However, Cygwin's gcc does not appear to support that option.

These lines in configure are responsible:

test "$_xanim" = yes && _ld_dl_dynamic='-rdynamic'
test "$_real" = yes && _ld_dl_dynamic='-rdynamic'

Commenting them out does not seem to make a difference, though.
