Not that I know of.  But there is the BLODA list 
(https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda).  Have you checked that?

If you want to post the strace output somewhere or send it to me off-list, I'll 
see if I notice anything unusual.  Posting it somewhere is better, so that 
others can look also.
