Thanks for tracking this down, Marco.  So the workaround is to downgrade 
to the previous version of libOSMesa8.

I noticed that for the latest mesa, Yaakov switched from an autotools 
build to a meson build.  I wonder if the problem with cygOSMesa-8.dll is 
an unintended side effect of that switch.  I tried building mesa-18.0.1 
using autotools instead of meson (taking the configure arguments from 
the cygport file used for mesa-17.3.8), and the resulting 
cygOSMesa-8.dll does export glBegin.
