And apparently, the latter comes with their own Cygwin-based tools and gets delivered with their own cygwin1.dll. Now, If you had read the error message you might have found where that second cygwin1.dll lives (and likely still lives). The next time you'll call the tools in whatever order to make that other (older) cygwin1.dll load first or have the programs in Rtools try to use the newer cygwin1.dll you will have that very same problem again.
