FYI, I just applied a patch to the Cygwin DLL to fix the problem, so
mintty and strip work with an optimized DLL now.  Given the place and
the nature of the bug, I'm rather puzzled that my other executables
didn't seem to be affected.

For those of you not building their own Cygwin DLL, I'll upload a new
binary micro distro package soon.
