Pavel -
It turned out that I did have two copies of cygwin1.dll, both in the cygwin
directory area. I had an older version (1.3.2) in my /home/my_name
directory, which was also where I had the .c files I was trying to compile
and link. Removing that one now causes the more recent one in /bin to be
invoked, and gcc linking works again. g++ linking had worked because the
.cpp files were in a different directory that didn't have its own copy of
the dll.
From reading earlier threads, I was inspired to remove only a duplicate .dll
from the windows/system directory. I never thought to look for duplicates
in the cygwin area. Thanks muchly for the tip.
