Very interesting:
$ ldd sqlite3.exe
        ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffc1d6f0000)
        ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/SysWOW64/ntdll.dll (0x778c0000)
        wow64.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/wow64.dll (0x7ffc1c830000)
        wow64win.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/wow64win.dll (0x7ffc1d540000)

Why are there two ntdll.dll files? Never mind. :-)

These reported DLL are in the search path, and also moving these to the executable folder still gives the same error. I also moved the sqlite3.exe file from the built folder to the previous folder in the Cygwin environment, and the same problem happens: 

jcabrera@JIC ~/build/sqlite/SQLite-060eb284
$ mv sqlite3.exe ..
jcabrera@JIC ~/build/sqlite/SQLite-060eb284
$ cd ..
jcabrera@JIC ~/build/sqlite
$ ./sqlite3

jcabrera@JIC ~/build/sqlite
$ ./sqlite3.exe

jcabrera@JIC ~/build/sqlite


Well, let's say that nothing happens. So, it's something to do with the built command that only allows the sqlite3.exe to be run in the folder built folder and no-where else.
