Let's stop this loop please.  Two people have pointed you at the build
instructions.  If you read them you will not have to worry about where
cygwin0.dll fits in.  Specifically, you install the DLL using "make
install" and that should make things clear.

If you have specific questions about "make install" please send them.
Otherwise, I don't think there is any reason to keep the loop going.
