You are in DLL hell my friend. You probably have multiple versions of 
the cygwin1.dll on your system, and your cygwin install is trying to use 
the wrong one.

If you aren't tied to cygwin, I'd suggest using the CDT for Windows 
distribution which is based on MinGW. You can get it at 
http://cdt-windows.sourceforge.net.
