True.

Okay, I went back and tried this again, in order to provide the error
message.  Instead I solved the problem.  The line in question in the
Makefile was

        CLIBS+=-cclib -lutil

The first time I looked at this line, in my simplicity I only commented out
the '-lutil', and the link failed (can't remember the error message now). 
This time I commented out the whole line, and the linking completed
successfully.  So yes, it seems that libutil.so is taken care of by
cygwin1.dll.

The real problem here is that the latest Unison Makefile isn't correctly
detecting that it's building in a Cygwin environment.  That's why it
executed the line above.  I'll send a patch to the Unison developers.

Thanks for your help.
Andrew.
