+	* cygcheck.cc (cygwin_dll_path): New global variable.
+	(load_cygwin): Fetch cygwin DLL path and store in cygwin_dll_path.
+	* strace.cc: Full ditto.
+	* path.cc (read_mounts): First use the path stored in cygwin_dll_path,
+	if available.  Then fall back to fetching own path.  Add comment.
+	Drop printing warnings since they look funny in strace output.
