Hello David-
The fact that their uname said MINGW implies they weren't running
"real" Cygwin, but, actually MSYS, which is the slightly modified Cygwin
that is bundled with MINGW to allow it to run bash and other
coreutils.

MSYS has its own location for '/usr/bin', which is probably
c:/msys64/usr/bin or similar. It won't look in c:/cygwin64 by default.

Just a guess, but, hope this helps.
-Mike Gran
