I don't know off the top of my head, but I wouldn't worry about this.

As Warren and Achim have both suggested, you may just have too many DLLs for 
32-bit Cygwin.  Can you uninstall some unneeded packages?  Or switch to 64-bit 
Cygwin?

By the way, I don't think you have yet attached cygcheck output as requested in 
http://cygwin.com/problems.html:  "Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and 
include that file as an attachment in your report.  Please do not compress or 
otherwise encode the output.  Just attach it as a straight text file so that it 
can be easily viewed."  Maybe someone will spot something.
