Thanks for the guidance. "objdump -x" and cygcheck
don't report any errors (though I don't know enough to
know if any of the output is unusual), and the other
necessary DLLs are in the PATH. Looking more closely
at the compilation, there was a warning:

want

Could this problem with dllwrap be what's causing my
DynaLoader troubles? If so, is there a way to create
an export definition file - or to resolve the missing
entry symbol so it doesn't use the default?
