It seems only compiled but not called... or not? This is a question for Cygwin developers, not for Emacs developers. ecrt0.c is the startup code, which is typically called by the OS after it loads the executable. In the Cygwin case, ``the OS'' is probably some Cygwin module, which is in turn called by Windows. But that's guesswork; someone who is privy to Cygwin internals should answer your question.
