Dynamic loading of Cygwin DLLs has been broken for some time.  Since this
doesn't affect the core Cygwin developers, there's little motivation for a
fix.  You could try debugging this yourself and (hopefully) submitting a
patch, or use the "-mno-cygwin" option of gcc, which will build a MinGW
version of your DLL (with all the associated limitations -- please see
http://mingw.org/ for where to ask for help on MinGW).
	Igor
