You must be mixing components from both B20.1 and B21. Programs
linked against the B21 cygwin library will need a B21 dll because
'__ctype__' is exported differently in B21.

A quick work-around may be to grab the dll from the winsup-
snapshot directory at Cygnus and use it until you have rebuilt
everything with the B20.1 libraries... it's backwards compatible.

To use the new newlib-snapshot with B20.1, replace the following
two files with the stock B20.1 versions:
  newlib/libc/include/ctype.h
  newlib/libc/posix/execvp.c
