building from git and using the attached patch that is used for all
cygwin packages on latest cygwin

$ uname -svrm
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 2.11.1(0.329/5/3) 2018-09-05 10:24 x86_64

============== creating database "contrib_regression" ==============
CREATE DATABASE
ALTER DATABASE
============== running regression test queries ==============
test paths ... ok
test dblink ... ok
============== shutting down postmaster ==============

$ objdump -x usr/lib/postgresql/dblink.dll |grep "DLL Name:"
DLL Name: postgres.exe

DLL Name: cygwin1.dll
DLL Name: KERNEL32.dll
