Fresh install of cygwin on c:\cygwin\ is including spaces in PATH, 
causing that cannot execute common tasks,

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/PC Connectivity 
Solution:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Microsoft 
Shared/Windows Live:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32: and so on

Example:
$ make
Can't find C:\Program on PATH.
