We have not tried to build DLLs for the Swarm libraries.  As you
probably know, the DLL tools in Cygwin are not integrated with GNU
binutils or with GNU libtool.  As we don't yet have a need for Swarm DLLs,
supporting Windows is a special case we can't afford to investigate or
support.

I think maybe in the former case I may have regenerated the assembly and
in the latter case pretended to be a SYSV host.

The 2.4 version doesn't have autoconf support, and it seems to have 
resource leaks.  We're using blt8.0-unoff-swarm-0 on the SFI ftp site.
