Windows requires the x bit for DLLs to be loadable as executable code
into the address space of a process. As Václav wrote, it's a Windows
thing.
So, I had to play with "chmod -x cyg*.dll" and, of course, it
totally hosed Cygwin. I recovered by reinstalling from scratch
only after realizing that ATTRIB did not have an option to re-
establish X--we're talking XP here. So, as this is a Windows
thing, wondering how, through Windows, I could restore execute
access to the DLLs.
What's wrong with "chmod +x cyg*.dll"?
It doesn't work any more. You cannot restart a new terminal, either. You
will be trapped here.
Ah, I didn't realize that Ken did this in /bin. You could use cacls in
this case as an alternative to reinstalling.
