I cannot say from here. Obviously Glob.dll was not rebased.
File::Glob is one of the very first loaded dll's in such forked perl
process with wildcards args.
So I suspect it was not rebased at all.

I would try rebase with -v (verbose) and also tie it to a log file.
$ rebaseall -v | tie rebaseall.log

Check the output for refused dll's, and if nothing is obvious, send
the output of cygcheck -s -v -r
plus rebaseall.log

   Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an
attachment in your report.
   Please do not compress or otherwise encode the output. Just attach
it as a straight text
   file so that it can be easily viewed.
