'Error "collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status" shows while compiling vim (Versin>=7.4.399) from Cygwin
I've tired to maintenance the latest VIM/GVIM for windows, here is my OpenSource project.
However, I found the compile always failed by cygwin since the vim version higher than v7.4.399 (including v7.4.399).
Version less than v7.4.399 can be compiled with the same command successfully!

The compile command:
make -B -f Make_cyg.mak PYTHON=/cygdrive/c/Marslo/MyProgramFiles/Python27 DYNAMIC_PYTHON=yes PYTHON_VER=27 PYTHON3=/cygdrive/c/Marslo/MyProgramFiles/Python34 DYNAMIC_PYTHON3=yes PYTHON3_VER=34 FEATURES=huge IME=yes GIME=yes MBYTE=yes CSCOPE=yes USERNAME=Marslo.Jiao USERDOMAIN=China GUI=no
I checked the difference between v7-4-398 and v7-4-399, and found there something updated with encryption. Then I added the libs and other stuff about crypt in cygwin as below, but the compile still CANNOT work....

What should I do can compile the higher version vim ?
Environments:
- Cygwin version: Latest
setup-x86_64.exe,mintty 1.2-beta1 (x86_64-pc-cygwin)

Got this issue again on CentOS 7, Python 2.7.10, 64bit.
According to this answer, this issue has been fixed;
export vi_cv_path_python_plibs="-L/<python_config_path> ..."
For example in my situation:
export vi_cv_path_python_plibs="-L/usr/local/lib/python2.7/config ..."
Compile command:
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.marslo/myprograms/vim74 --enable-pythoninterp --with-python-config-dir=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/config --with-features=huge --disable-smack --enable-cscope --with-tlib=ncurses --with-compiledby=marslo@china
$ cd src && make first
$ cd .. && make
$ make install

You can disable sodium library in ./configure such as :
./configure -disable-libsodium
