I'm not assuming anything.  I *know* that no standard cygwin package
installs a /usr/local/*/cygwin1.dll.  In fact, AFAICT, there is no
usr/local anywhere in the cygwin distribution, nor should there be.

A moments worth of thought would lead you to this conclusion.  Do you
see all sorts of people complaining about the problems that you're
seeing?  No.  Why do you think that is?  Luck?

So, if you truly have a /usr/local directory, it comes from something
that you have either downloaded or built from outside of the standard
cygwin distribution.
