I recently built 5.005_03 from pristine sources without applying either
the dynamic or static patch Chuck maintains.  I'm still running the
ancient cygwin b18 and it worked fine.  However I did have a problem
similar to yours after the first build, which was done with dynamic
loading.  My problem was with Fcntl.pm.  Everything was where it
belonged, and there were no complaints during the build, but DynaLoader
just didn't work.  I can't really be much help explaining why -- I just
use this stuff, I don't understand it.  :-(   But it all went away when
I built perl without dynamic loading.  I've had no problems with the
handful of "non-standard" modules that have been installed.  So, unless
you specifically need it, you might want to ignore the default "y"
answer to dynamic loading (from hints/cygwin.sh in the perl source) and
build it statically.

Hope this helps.
