I don't see why it should.  Setup does prepend the Cygwin /bin and
/usr/bin directories to the PATH (see init_run_script in script.cc), so
the Cygwin versions should be picked up by the postinstall scripts.

I'd be much more concerned about the "Not found: sh" line above (marked
with '!'s).  Did the OP unselect "ash" when installing Cygwin?  Since he
did "Install from Local Directory", was the ash tarball corrupted or
missing?
