Only immediate suggestions :).  Run 'objdump -fp' on the two executables. 
Perhaps there's a difference between outputs that stands out or is meaningful
to somebody on the list when you report it.

Another thing you might try is 'cygcheck -svr' on the two Cygwin versions and
compare output.  That may show meaningful differences between the two versions.
 That will have a lot of output to sift through but any differences listed may
point to something.
