Hi ,
I will see the problem on WIN10 or WIN SERVER, the duplicate steps are as
follows:
1. Write a simple code 'hello world' program and compiled the
executable file using GCC.
// hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
$ gcc hello.c -o hello.exe
2. Format the specified USB drive using command prompt.
C:\> format <USB Drive Letter>: /fs:UDF /q
3. Put the executable files hello.exe and cygwin1.dll into the UDF format
flash drive and execute.
We will find that the execution error occurs with cygwin v3.2.x and above.
F:\>hello.exe
0 [main] hello (16224) F:\hello.exe: *** fatal error - add_item
("\??", "/", ...) failed, errno 22

This error does not occur in v3.1.7.
Hope this will be resolved in the future.
Thanks,
Sam
