That may happen because, as you found out, readline must be
dynamically linked when you do that.

That's correct.  You also have cygguilereadline-14.dll in /usr/bin, I
hope.

Hmm.  Guile 1.5.6-3 was linked against latest libtool from cvs.  It
looks like there may be a conflict (or another problem) with the
libtool that's currently in Cygwin.

Unless someone else has a smart guess what's going on here, I'll
rebuild guile with Cygwin's latest libtool-devel, and see what
happens.

I think you just found a bug, we'll have to look into this.

Greetings,
Jan.
