I'm not sure about the meaning of the ouput but it seems those entries
 000c1064       000c6ad4 00000000 00000000 000c8d48 0000f8e5

        DLL Name: cygXt-6.dll
        vma:  Hint/Ord Member-Name Bound-To
        c84b8     462  rectObjClass

refer to an objectfile which was linked into the exe  and requires
rectObjClass from cygXt-6.dll. There are a lot of objectfiles which
have this dependency. I'm not sure if the repeated output is an
indicator of a repeated dll resolve attempt.
