I have found a partial answer: cygcheck from Cygwin can list dependencies
on DLLs recursively, like this:

> cygcheck.exe .\BouncingBalls.exe
.\BouncingBalls.exe
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.DLL
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.DLL
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
           C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHLWAPI.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\WSOCK32.DLL
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2_32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2HELP.dll
     C:\Haskell\Projects\X\wxc.dll
       C:\Haskell\Projects\X\libstdc++-6.dll
         C:\Haskell\Projects\X\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
etcetera.


If a DLL is not found, you will get a message like:
Error: could not find wxc.dll

It will not always be apparent, which package is responsible for
the DLL dependency.

I am still left with the question:
how can I find the error location when the crash occurs in C/C++ code?
