the change is on ImageBase address

$ objdump -x /usr/bin/cygglpk-40.dll |grep ImageBase
ImageBase               00000003e1710000

  $ rebase -si |grep  /usr/bin/cygglpk-40.dll
/usr/bin/cygglpk-40.dll 
                                       base 0x0003e1710000 size 0x000ec000

To perform a proper fork all the dlls should be loaded
at not colliding address

This activity is performed by the script
/etc/postinstall/0p_000_autorebase.dash

after the files installation.
