It's worth noting that the symptoms of this were different in 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 which I had installed previously, in those releases loading the dll worked fine, but a call to getservbyname core dumped. In 1.5.10, the process just freezes up when loading the dll. So something has changed there. >You haven't been able to reliably, dynamically load cygwin dlls for some >time now.

Can anyone give me some hints for building cygwin from sources, then, so that I can have a go at fixing this? Should I build under cygwin or under mingw? Or is there a possibility to build in VC++ and use the visual studio debugger? I just want to build with debug flags to see what's going on. Does anyone have a VC++ project file for cygwin?
