On my environment version of Ruby is 3.2.2.

I use https://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/cygwin as download site and there are
surely ruby-3.2.2-2.hint, ruby-3.2.2-2.tar.xz, ruby-3.2.2-2-src.hint
and ruby-3.2.2-2-src.tar.xz under
https://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/cygwin/x86_64/release/ruby/.

So I guess download site you use is out of sync.
