So you are using the latest too.

All of the above appear to be non-relocatable:

    $ file *.dll
    cygcurl-2-build.dll:   MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console DLL not relocatable
    cygcurl-2-install.dll: MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console DLL not relocatable
    cygcurl-2-strip.dll:   MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console DLL not relocatable

How did you manage to accomplish this?

It is very simple.  Just download, uncompress, and install the following:

    http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/rebase/rebase.exe.bz2

into /usr/local/bin.

The following is a sample command line:

    rebase -d -b 0x68000000 cygcurl-2-*.dll
