'cygcheck' is not a Cygwin program so there is no need to do anything
special to run it.
Do the following:
mount -s -b e:/cygwin /
mount -s -b e:/bin /usr/bin
mount -s -b e:/lib /usr/lib
mount -s -b -c /cygdrive
That should get you back to the basics. Of course, the above is from memory
so there might be a typo or two in there. I don't keep around a 1.5.x
environment
so I can't easily check the specific syntax. In the future, you might find
'mount -m'
helpful.
