I investigated it further and found out the following:

I had OLD cygwin1.dll in c:\windows\system\ directory. This is probably 
something I did a long time ago so that I could run the old sitecopy.exe 
form the standard Windows .BAT script (without using bash or any other 
cygwin component).

If I understand it correctly, the actual cygwin1.dll should always be in 
c:\cygwin\bin, where it is. Strange thing is, when I tried do compile 
the new sitecopy, the compiler crashed (see previous messages) beacuse 
of the old DLL in the \SYSTEM directory. When I deleted this DLL 
(without doing anything else), the compilation finished without 
problems. I have no idea why was cygwin looking into \SYSTEM dir, if the 
needed DLL should be (and was present) in \bin.

So, now I have the latest cygwin but I can no longer run it from a 
standard Windows BAT file because it doesn't "see" cygwin1.dll file (and 
other DLL files it needs). How to solve this cleanly? Copy the DLLs to 
\SYSTEM directory? Or is it enough to change the current directory to 
"c:\cygwin\bin" before running sitecopy.exe?

Thanks
