I built a CMake 2.4.2 for Cygwin from sources.  I used the "Unix linefeed" download, cmake-2.4.2.tar.gz.  I used an earlier Cygwin CMake package to build it.  Now I am using this Cygwin CCMake 2.4.2 to generate my Chicken build.  When it comes time to link a .dll, it fails with:

Linking C shared library libchicken.dll
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find
-ldl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libchicken.dll] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/libchicken.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
        
If libchicken is trying to link to -ldl this is probably because you are telling to do so somewhere in your CMakeLists.txt code.
      
Hm!  You know, there is a conditional -ldl in there.  I haven't noticed that in a long time.  I wonder why it's giving this behavior on Cygwin when previously it didn't.  I will investigate.
    

There is a variable CMAKE_DL_LIBS, that you can use without an if.

 TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(chicken ... ${CMAKE_DL_LIBS})
  
I have investigated, and I'm not convinced that the -ldl is coming from my code.  My code is:

CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE(dl.h HAVE_DL_H)
IF(HAVE_DL_H)
  ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DHAVE_DL_H)
  SET(EXTRA_LIBS ${EXTRA_LIBS} ldl)
ENDIF(HAVE_DL_H)

There is no dl.h on any hard drive of my system.  Which is to be expected, as it's a Linux thing.  I think the -ldl more likely from building CMake 2.4.2 on Cygwin incorrectly.  I will await your canonical version and see if the problem goes away.
