You have an old version of the Cygwin DLL with newer versions of at 
least the gcc package.  This could be caused by:

  1. You have more than 1 copy of 'cygwin1.dll' on your system.  Search
     for and destroy all those that don't exist in 'c:\Cygwin\bin'.

  2. You didn't reboot after upgrading Cygwin, even though setup told
     you to.

  3. You downgraded your Cygwin package to a very old version without 
     downgrading (at least) your gcc package.  Unless you know what 
     you're doing, don't do that.  Re-run setup and upgrade the Cygwin
     package.
