This looks suspicious.  Looks like you have more than one Cygwin DLL
in your path and your cygdrive is not the one the other DLL sees or
something like that.
Please attach the output of cygcheck -svr to a mail, and also please
call

  strace -o getfacl.trace getfacl.exe /cygdrive

and attach the getfacl.trace file to your mail as well.
