I believe that message is about the file src/gnuwin32/Rdll.hide.  It is 
supposed to be sorted, using ASCII collation order.  I believe the 
version in the repository is sorted properly; can you check yours?

We've had some problems with recent versions of Cygwin not sorting 
properly.  The last instance had it put names in the order

  BZ2_bzWriteClose at 20
  BZ2_bzWriteClose64 at 28

but ASCII order should put @ after 6.  Are you using the comm and Cygwin 
dlls from Rtools, or have you got newer ones?
