According to gdb, programs fail during startup with 0xc0000139 
(STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND).

A message box shown when running an affected program directly from 
cmd.exe reveals the problem: Entrypoint "argp_parse" is missing.

$ objdump -p /bin/cygargp-0.dll | grep argp_parse
         [  56] +base[  57]  0038 rpl_argp_parse

Previous version:

$ objdump -p /bin/cygargp-0.dll | grep argp_parse
         [  24] +base[  25]  0018 argp_parse


Current <argp.h> actually maps 'argp_parse' to 'rpl_argp_parse':

$ printf '#include <argp.h>\nargp_parse' | gcc -E -xc - | tail -1
rpl_argp_parse

$ grep -B1 rpl_argp_parse /usr/include/argp-config.h
/* Define to the name of argp_parse outside libc. */
#define argp_parse rpl_argp_parse
