A Google search for "__gxx_personality_v0" suggests that the linker
being called by "mzc" is not picking up the C++ library that the GCC
runtime uses.  On Unix, this library is named "libstdc++*", and is
linked automatically when the "g++" executable is used as a linker
front-end.

This sounds like a minor tools configuration problem...

Try "mzc --ld --ldf-show test1.dll test1.obj" to see what linker command
line "mzc" is using.  If it is using "gcc", try adding "--linker g++" to
the command line.

(Cygwin might call the "g++" executable something different, like "gpp"
or "gxx".  Sorry I don't know Cygwin.)

Alternatively, instead of using "--linker g++", you can add the C++
library to the "mzc --ld" command line using the "++ldf" flag (see "mzc
--help").  Or you can invoke "g++" as a linker yourself, without using
"mzc" as a front-end, and just explicitly add the MzScheme library to
the command line.  But I'd try "--linker g++" first, and resort to the
others only if further debugging were needed.
