You do. See <http://cygwin.com/cvs.html>. > but which components of cygwin I need to modify? Probably the DLL initialization code... > And do you have an idea about the time needed to develop the patch? The fact that it hasn't been implemented yet seems to indicate that it's non-trivial. I'd suggest getting this down to a small example that reproduces the problem (i.e., a main program with just the LoadLibrary call, and a DLL with a trivial function that depends on cygwin1.dll) before trying to fix it. Also note that any non-trivial patch requires a Cygwin copyright assignment, as described in <http://cygwin.com/contrib.html>.
