Starting with this very trivial C program:

int main(void) {
printf("Zstandard v%d\n", ZSTD_versionNumber());

and compiling with
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o test.exe test.c -lzstd
when I then run ./test.exe, I get the Windows critical-error-handler
dialog stating "The code execution cannot proceed because
libzstd-1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this
problem."

x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc is a cross compiler, a.k.a. the Mingw compiler,
not Cygwin's gcc.
It is quite correct for a cross compiler meant to produce Windows
executables to do what you are seeing. The executable is independent of
Cygwin, i.e. doesn't use the Cygwin dll.
