I had installed the default cygwin a few months ago, and then last night I updated my installation to add the dos2unix tools (namely, I needed d2u.exe, diff.exe, sdiff.exe and u2d.exe, which I was able to add in the update).  I am still missing the tools ar.exe and make.exe. However, when I added the tools, I also started getting the following error message in my cygwin window upon startup.

You seems to have a very weird mount table

C:\cygwin64\usr\local      /          system  binary,auto
C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin  /usr/bin   system  binary,auto
C:\cygwin64\usr\local\lib  /usr/lib   system  binary,auto
cygdrive prefix            /cygdrive  user    binary,auto

my one looks like

E:\cygwin64      /          system  binary,auto
E:\cygwin64\bin  /usr/bin   system  binary,auto
E:\cygwin64\lib  /usr/lib   system  binary,auto
cygdrive prefix  /cygdrive  user    binary,auto

Have you installed cygwin multiple times in different places ?

Cygwin installations found in the registry:
   System: Key: e022582115c10879 Path: C:\cygwin64
   User:   Key: e022582115c10879 Path: C:\cygwin64
   User:   Key: e9b5963264e345a0 Path: C:\cygwin64\usr\local

I doubt the double intersecting installations behave very well...

  First use regedit to remove at least this one

User:   Key: e9b5963264e345a0 Path: C:\cygwin64\usr\local

than eventually reinstall some of the packages.

ar.exe is in binutils
make.exe is in make (of course)
