If you have something like an i386-pc-cygwin-objdump or ix86-cygwin-objdump
or some variation thereof, then you can use the -p option to give you
all of the dlls that an executable is using.

If you send the specific error that you received here, we'll try to help
you.

Actually, if you want to make a version available for me to download
I'm sure that people here will help debug it.

tux racer looks like a cool game.  I'd like to see it succeed.

I think that's the best solution.  If you can get it to be built with
one less DLL that's a good thing.  I'm partial to cygwin but only when
it makes sense.
