Are you cross-compiling?

Again, the .bin extension is not used in Cygwin, it is probably just an ima= ge (that's the bin(ary) extension for). Try the command "file hldsupdatetool.= bin" to see if the file's format is recognized. > I have a compiler made specifically for the cygwin environment that > emulates the c++ compiler needed by valve.

Not really. I don't know the development environment Valve or somebody else made; and I don't know how the dedicated server for Windows is constructed, perhaps they are emulating Linux in some way and even using/loading dynamic libraries made for Linux. It is possible, but I don't know. I think it would be better to ask your question on the Valve developers for= um, don't you think? We can only guess at what you are doing and probably don= 't solve anything.
