This topic has come up numerous times in the past.  See the archives.  At one 
time even I thought there was a Cygwin problem being discovered here.  I was 
wrong.  In my case, and in the case of most (all?) other folks seeing this, the 
real problem was BLODA.
See <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda> for more.

(Was that two separate copies of 'cygcheck' output?  Please *attach* just one 
next time rather than sending as part of the email body.)
Hope this helps,
