You're confused.  The size of the heap has nothing to do with anything.

Putting the heap in a DLL does not solve anything.  It's the cygheap
address that gets used that is a problem -- at least as far as this
auto-import situation is concerned.  Cygwin needs to be able to use an
address that is deterministic and Windows doesn't really guarantee that.
