Trying to help ... ----- test program #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> //int main (int argc, char **argv) int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { HMODULE m = LoadLibrary (argv[1]); if (!m) printf ("%s: %lu\n", argv[1], GetLastError ()); else printf ("Success.\n"); // 15/07/2014: currently resulting in a crash on 32-bits only (gcc only) return 0; } ----- The test program above fails (abort) for every cyg*.dll in /usr/bin that pulls in cyggcc_s-1.dll.
