That all looks perfectly normal to me, and exactly what I see on my own 
systems.  But your explicit mention of using a non-X terminal suggested 
another possible reason for rebase failure: the cygXt-6.dll is very 
likely to be in-use, and thus busy as far as Windows is concerned, if 
you're running an X server and/or xterms etc. at the same time you're 
trying to rebase that DLL.

Try closing all xterms, background X apps, and the X server and any X 
window manager you may be running.  All processes related to X, in other 
words.  Then retry the rebase of cygXt-6.dll.
