Maybe I have understood.. it seems an issue similar to that I flagged 
here: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-12/msg00390.html

The build log shows:

   Does Emacs use a png library?                           yes -lpng16

and ldd :

$ ldd /usr/local/emacs/bin/emacs.exe | grep png
         cygpng16-16.dll => /usr/bin/cygpng16-16.dll (0x3f6700000)
         cygpng15-15.dll => /usr/bin/cygpng15-15.dll (0x3f6740000)

So, the "spurious" dependency could came from ImageMagick which still 
depend on libpng15.
