It is the least I can do, considering all the hard work by all of you.
Your email on sage-devel convinced me to try.

lead you to happiness. The Python spkg seems to be particularly
vulnerable to this problem, in other reports as well as my own experience.
By the way, there are more detailed instructions about how to rebase the
Sage dlls (not just the system ones) at the [wiki:CygwinPort wiki page
about this].
So far, I just rebased Cygwin using {{{rebaseall -v}}}. I don't know
whether this also rebases the Sage dlls, but the compilation is now
continuing (it finished compiling Python).
I'm convinced that my problem is related to Windows update. I have Windows
7 installed on a partition on my laptop and almost never boot into it. It
was really, really behind on updates, and Windows just kept on applying
update and update (even after it told me there were no more updates to
apply, it somehow managed to download some new updates....). It seems to
have stopped updating now. Fingers crossed.
