It looks like those were probably part of the now unsupported 1.10 releases: if 
you rebuild against current libopenmpi-devel and openmpi 4.1 releases, your 
software should work with the current cyg...40.dll binaries.

You can research installing ancient openmpi releases still available from the 
Cygwin Time Machine:
