Thanks, Dave.  I did compile a hello-world.c program, and it ran, but
I had also compiled PLT scheme v360 before (needed to bootstrap
Larceny) and had run it without problem as well (I had thought this
might be a permission issue, because what bash actually reports is
"Access denied" - the underlying error took further investigation).

$ cygcheck ./larcenybin.exe
.\larcenybin.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll


Thanks,
Lynn
