Lately, I was introduced to objdump(1), which answers which DLL
does mount obtain getmntent(). Here's an excerpted session:

% objdump -p /bin/mount.exe
...
The Import Tables (interpreted .idata section contents)
 vma:            Hint    Time      Forward  DLL       First
                 Table   Stamp     Chain    Name      Thunk
 00008000       00008040 00000000 00000000 00008374 000080d0

        DLL Name: cygwin1.dll
        vma:  Hint/Ord Member-Name Bound-To
        815c        8  __errno
        8168       28  __main
...
        8214      782  getmntent
        8220      903  malloc
        822c      924  mount
...
        DLL Name: KERNEL32.dll
        vma:  Hint/Ord Member-Name Bound-To
        82d8      262  GetDriveTypeA
        82e8      297  GetModuleHandleA

Peace. -Rick Umali
