The "-Wl,-bpe-i386" part is not necessary.  I just checked this on both 
Cygwin32 and Cygwin64.  I think it should be removed, since it's 
confusing to have an unnecessary directive (especially on Cygwin64, 
where the format is actually pe-x86-64).  But if both directives are 
removed, the icon doesn't show up.  I guess the comment right before 
that line in configure.ac explains why.
