[Boggle!]

You can't do that. Cygwin is not binary compatible with Linux - it's 
binary compatible with Windows. You cannot move a cygwin-compiled binary 
(executable or shared library) to Linux and use it there.

You have to either compile it on Linux itself, or specifically compile 
it with a cross-compiler that creates Linux executables (which won't run 
on Windows, then).
