What does 'cygcheck <foo>' on the target system in the context in which
<foo> should be run say, where <foo> is your executable?  If this doesn't
point at a missing DLL, you can do 'echo $?' after running the executable
in question and get some insight as to why it's failing.  Also,
it's worthwhile looking at the output of 'cygcheck -s -r -v' on both
the original and target system to look for important differences.
