Did you also pick up libreadline6-5.1-1? readline-5.1-1 only contains
the headers and static link library, but using plain -lreadline without
also using -static picks up the dynamic link library. The .dll is purposefully
shipped in a different package, since the .dll is required by base
packages, but the headers and static libraries are only needed in
a development environment. I don't know of a way to make setup.exe
force dependencies across experimental versions (ie. if you select
just readline-5.1-1, it would be nice if cygwin.exe could then automatically
also select libreadline6-5.1-1).
By the way, following the directions here, by attaching the output
of cygcheck -svr, would have made it more obvious to me if you
are experiencing the version mismatch that I think you are:
