Thank you all for the help. The problem was that I kept the old 
cygwin1.dll because I needed it to run the old sitecopy version. This 
was exactly the reason why I wanted to compile the new version - to be 
able to delete the old cygwin1.dll. I had no idea that this old DLL was 
used by anything else apart from the old sitecopy. When I deleted 
cygwin1.dll, the compilation succeeded!
Thanks again.
