Works for me - definitely a problem with your installation.

I imagine reinstalling Cygwin will fix it.

Whilst having the same directory in the path multiple times won't actually
break anything, it looks ugly, and will probably have a speed penalty.

Unconventional, but should still work fine.

Multiple versions of Cygwin is normally very bad news.

I'd raise the possibility that your 2 versions of Cygwin are interfering.
