Yes, because rebase was not designed originally with a lower address
boundary, so it just dilligently computes addresses and never checks if
a boundary is crossed.  At the time when this was designed we had
hundreds, rather than thousands of DLLs, and it didn't occur any of us
that the distro would grow to these dimensions.

I pushed a patch yesterday which let rebase bail out as soon as the
address gets < 0x1000000.  That's only barely above the usual address
executables are loaded to (0x400000).  The regions beneath that are
usually used for the main thread stack (0x20000 - 0x220000) and various
helper address mappings.

I releaase rebase 4.4.4 with the above patch today.

That may be as it is, but if you're really running a 32 bit Windows, in
contrast to under WOW64 on a 64 bit Windows, the above does not at all
work as desired and you're just lucky.  Any DLL in the upper region
beyond 0x80000000 will be rebased at runtime by the Windows loader.

The bottom line of this is, and it has been said before and I can't
stress this enough, we can't support this scenario at all, for the
simple fact that we have more DLLs than fit into the 32 bit address
space.  It's not much of a problem on 64 bit, but on 32 bit it's just
not feasible anymore.

Ultimately, You should (must) not install all of Cygwin on 32 bit, only
the set of stuff you need on top of the base category.  Or install 64
bit Cygwin.
