Failing to create static link program with gcc Cygwin on Windows 10

Cygwin on Windows. Compiling a simple hello world with Code:gcc -static -static-libgcc test.c from the cmd prompt

Upon running the created executable in Wine on a debian vm it fails saying it needs the cygwin1.dll. So it's not fully statically linked.

How can I get it to be a totally independent executable? I suppose the same question for the Linux side as well as I haven't tried to statically compile something on linux yet.
