Ken,
Adding a "." to the end of your PATH and then running "cygcheck -svr"
*from the directory where the problem occurs* would have shown that extra
cygwin1.dll (and its version) in the output.
As a general advice (and I guess we might want to add this to the problem
reporting page), if there's a problem that occurs in a specific directory,
you should run "cygcheck -svr" from that directory in order to eliminate
as many variables as possible.
FWIW, I'm glad this is in the archives, because, frankly, I should have
asked whether the problem also occurs when you compile sources from
another directory. This will serve as a reminder for next time.
