I've found the culprit. I installed the perl LWP module which installs a HEAD script that fetches the header of an URL. On unix HEAD and head are different but on cygwin having both HEAD and head.exe along the path causes a problem... After removing the HEAD script cygwin_libid reports x86 archive import So maybe cygwin_libid should call /usr/bin/head.exe instead of just head?
