I never saw an exit status of 57, EBFONT.  Actually, this error is never
generated by cygserver, cygrunsrv, or any Cygwin function.

You cygcheck output shows that you have multiple copies of the Cygwin
DLL installed in $PATH.  That's a no-no.  You should either remove the
following paths from $PATH

    C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\Exe
    C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\PPCTools20m\Bin

and reboot, or get rid of the two cygwin1.dll's

    C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\Exe\cygwin1.dll
    C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\PPCTools20m\Bin\cygwin1.dll

The first of them is the very old 1.3.19 release, the second is a very
suspicious one which claims to be version 2.1.0, which doesn't exist as
official release number.  You should ask the provider of the tools under
C:\app\tools\dSPACE51 what this is supposed to be.  I wouldn't trust it.

Any of the above actions should fix your problem.
