Could it be that your rsyncd.exe was compiled against different versions of
those libraries? Since you've already created a full Cygwin installation,
I suggest starting by trying run the rsyncd that's in that. If that works,
then you can go back to trying to extract just the pieces you need into a
separate directory (or not).
