I have the same issue with cygstart in cygutils 1.4.16-3.
"cygstart .; echo $?" says 0.

This issue only happens in 64bit cygwin and cygstart in 32bit cygwin works.

To look into this problem, I tried to build cygutils from source,
however, it fails in the link stage of getclip with the error:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/10/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: src/clip/getclip.o: in function `getclip':
/usr/src/debug/cygutils-1.4.16-3/src/clip/getclip.c:431: undefined reference to `__imp_RtlUnicodeToUTF8N'

It seems that -lntdll flag is required to build it. Doesn't this error
happen in your environment?

So I modified Makefile.am to:
src_clip_getclip_LDADD              = -lpopt -lntdll
src_clip_putclip_LDADD              = -lpopt -lntdll
and tried to build again and succeeded.

The cygstart built locally works fine.

So I tried to debug cygstart using gdb and it says:
Thread 1 received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.

The disassembling result at $rip is:
=> 0x0000000100401c15 <+389>:   vmovdqa 0x18c3(%rip),%xmm0        # 0x1004034e0

This is a AVX instruction.

My CPU is Core i7-870, which does not support AVX.

Then I ran cygstart in another machine whose CPU is Core i7-4790
and it works without the issue.

Conclusion:
cygstart in cygutils 1.4.16-3 is compiled with AVX extentions,
therefore it can not run in old machine.
