Right, cygcheck just reads the import list of the PE file header, it
doesn't try to actually invoke the binary or resolve any symbols.

Maybe you need to reproduce the conditions under which setup spawns the
postinstall process. This means CYGWIN=nontsec and stdin detached,
although I can't see how either of those would really conspire to cause
a hang.
