they are different.  To learn how to build DLLs using cygwin tools, see 
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/dll-stuff/

Note that there seems to be a cygwin-related problem that is tickled by 
the C example, but the C++ and Fortran examples work fine.

The cygwin bug is in 1.3.3-2 and is heap related; the person who 
reported it to me is researching it (I seem to remember something about 
heap errors in the archives)...more info to come...

src/dllhelpers-0.2.7/ $ ./usedll.exe
m.AllocationBase 0x0, m.BaseAddress 0x614E0000, m.RegionSize 0x20000, 
m.State 0x10000
D:\cygwin\usr\local\src\dllhelpers-0.2.7\c\usedll.exe: *** Couldn't 
reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x614E0000 <0x460000>) in child, Win32 
error 487
