They're not required to be in the same dir. We're merely adding them
into the same dir in the builds we distribute, because people might not
have Cygwin installed or it might not be a compatible version (and also
because our cygwin1.dll is patched, but that's a separate story).
When you do have Cygwin installed and are building programs, you're
indeed _not_ required to copy Cygwin DLL's for each and every program.
That would largely defeat the purpose of using dynamic linking.

As Jim explained, setting up environment variables may be part of Cygwin
setup, which you probably haven't completed.
Doesn't Cygwin's "launch bash" desktop icon setup the env vars, though?

Yes, it's weird. I suggest that you debug step by step: try making a
non-OpenMP 64-bit build first and measure its speeds. Also, look at
speeds you're getting for other hash types, for both builds.
BTW, why don't you enable AVX? Use an -x86-64-avx make target.

It's perfectly fine that you should be getting higher clock rate when
using 1 core vs. when using 4. That's how the CPU is supposed to work.
