This is coming from ImageMagick, I believe.   It is forcing -no-undefined
into the LDFLAGS inappropriately.  I hunted that down once and I believe
it has something to do with the way they resolved a dll issue, but never
got far enough to understand how to make it go away and feed the solution
back to them.

It is a harmless warning --- gcc ignores the unrecognized argument.

This should not be related to your -no-undefined stuff.  It looks like 
something wrong with your tiff library.  If you followed README.win32, 
you got tiff libraries from cygwin, and wouldn't have source code for them.
The error message is referring to the source code directory of the 
person who compiled it --- who apparently had the source code in /usr/src.

Are you attempting to load any tiff images, or is this bombing immediately 
before you've ever told it to read maps?
