I think putting the DLL into /bin is the general solution.  I wrote this
on this list a couple of times and I'm writing this again, as long as
anybody wants to read it:  Chroot is a bad hack, bad fake on Cygwin and
I curse the day I added this to Cygwin.  Don't use chroot and think
you're safe.  You're not.  It's just a joke of a jail.  Don't put too
much work into it.  I, certainly, won't.
