JNI + cygwin broken?

[wenchao Tao]

Greetings,

I need to use JNI to interface to an old big C++ library from Java.
And everything seems to be working on the test machine with
j2sdk1.4.2_02-b03, cygwin 1.5.5, and Windows XP. However as I moved
the application to another machine with the newest j2sdk
(j2sdk1.4.2_04-b32c) and cygwin (1.5.9), the JNI failed to work. With
help of a simple test program, I have found that the jvm failed to
load the DLL library that is linked without -mno-cygwin on the new
environment, while the DLL linked with -mmo-cygwin works fine. And the
old environment does not seem to have this problem.

I was wondering if anyone have a similar setup and have a working
solution. I am attaching the test programs and execution trace for
your reference. Any information would be greately appreciated.
