I have found the problem. During 'make install prefix=/install' the
cygwin1.dll is installed as a data file. 'cacls cygwin1.dll' shows that
the file is lacking the FILE_EXECUTE and FILE_GENERIC_EXECUTE
attributes. Doing 'chmod +x cygwin1.dll' or copying the file with
Explorer restores the executable flags. The problem is visible on ntfs
partitions under WinXP. It is probably present on Win2K and WinNT 4.0
hosts too.
Please consider the following patch:
