Hi,

I couldn't tell you exactly what the problem is (though I'd be curious
to find out, as I'm doing some builds with Cygwin on AppVeyor as well
so it might be relevant to me).

However, I noticed that you are installing your own Cygwin--were you
aware that (most, at least?) of AppVeyor's base images comes with
Cygwin pre-installed.  And this is more "stable" insofar as the Cygwin
version and all pre-installed packages are pinned, at least, until
AppVeyor updates the image (which I actually need to get them to do,
since the pre-installed Cygwin is currently at 2.8.0, and I would like
2.8.1...).

So my point is, have you tried using the pre-installed Cygwin?

Best,
Erik
