Thanks Dave,

my original intention was to respin only the cygwin-1.7
packages but I will rebuild hdf5 also for cygwin-1.5
and likely also the others just to be sure.
I think octave could have the same problem

$cygcheck /usr/bin/octave-3.0.3.exe 

C:\cygwin/bin\octave-3.0.3.exe
  C:\cygwin/bin\cygoctinterp.dll
    C:\cygwin/bin\cygcruft.dll
      C:\cygwin/bin\cygblas.dll
        C:\cygwin/bin\cygwin1.dll
          C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
            C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
            C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
            C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
      C:\cygwin/bin\cyglapack.dll
      C:\cygwin/bin\cyggcc_s.dll
    C:\cygwin/bin\cygoctave.dll
      C:\cygwin/bin\cygfftw3-3.dll
      C:\cygwin/bin\cygreadline6.dll
        C:\cygwin/bin\cygncurses-8.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
          C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll
    C:\cygwin/bin\cyghdf5-0.dll
      C:\cygwin/bin\cygz.dll
