AFAIK such errors are because Windows have no function like
fork and only emulates it.  However sometimes emulation fails.
In more detail: fork is supposed to create exact copy of
current process, with the only difference beeing that in
parent fork returns id of child, while in child we get 0.
In particular, location of shared libraries in both processes
should be the same.  Cygwin tries to relocate libraries
so that this is true.  But Windows puts stuff where it
wants, and such Windows inserted stuff may appear where
we would like to have shared library.

It may help to shut down everything else on the machine,
if this does not work we are out of luck.

The log shows that you tried full bootstrap.  Have you used
the tarball from:

http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/fricas/fricas-1.0.6-full.tar.bz2

This tarbal by default should compile algebra from cached Lisp.  Since
this is simpler it may work even if bootstrap fails.  Or maybe
release type build failed and you tried bootstrap as last resort?

We can spend a day of to trying to work around the problem, but
otherwise we will ship without Cygwin binaries.
