Thanks for replying, Chuck.

As I mentioned in the initial email, I had already done just that.  Just 
to be sure, I did it again, with the same result:

$ cygcheck ./zsh.exe
C:\cygwin\usr\local\zsh-2009-03-11\bin\zsh.exe
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
   C:\cygwin\usr\local\zsh-2009-03-11\bin\libzsh-4.3.9-dev-1.dll
     C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
     C:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses-9.dll

$ cygcheck ./libzsh-4.3.9-dev-1.dll
C:\cygwin\usr\local\zsh-2009-03-11\bin\libzsh-4.3.9-dev-1.dll
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses-9.dll

How can I ascertain what entry point is not being found?
