recently I've been running a lot into an error while trying to load dlls

The library in question is always there, however, and *appears* to have been
correctly built (ldd and cygcheck both return the expected values).
Roberto,
it can be a older version than needed,
ldd and cygcheck will not notice the difference.
It is usually due to a an error in upgrade.
It can happen when you run setup but some cygwin program/process
was still running and the used libraries can not be upgraded.
Check is some /usr/bin/*.new libraries are present.
In that case a re-boot could solve the issue.
If that does not clue you in sufficiently, also run:
$ cygcheck -hrsv > cygcheck.out &
In the cygcheck.out you can look at the date of the specific
library and compare with the one in the latest package
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi
In case of mismatch, close all process and re-install the package
containing that library.

MArco
