FYI, this may be a problem with Cygwin setup causing packages and DLLs not
to work.

This shouldn't be an Inline::C bug. The issue can impact just about
anything that runs under cygwin, and that uses DLL's. It's likely
that what is getting clobbered is the C compiler. Apparently after
upgrading some packages on cygwin, a rebaseall command may be
necessary. The symptom seems to be wonky behavior across a number of
assorted tools (not just Perl, or the C compiler).
Here are some links on the topic:

http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/11/26/cygwin-upgrades-and-rebaseall/
My suggestion is to document the issue in a future release of Inline
by placing the following segment in the Inline FAQ, or the Inline::C
README (not sure which would be better):
Q: Why am I getting errors under cygwin after
upgrading some cygwin packages?
A: We have no idea, but it seems to be a cygwin
issue that will affect a number of
tools on your system, including the C compiler.
The solution is to execute a
'rebaseall' after terminating all long-running processes.
Here are links to a couple of articles that describe
how to do that:
...and then include the links above, or just copy and paste the
examples of how to run rebaseall.
