What's wrong with the libgmp that ships with Cygwin?

You are supposed to run setup.exe again, otherwise the rebase-trigger is
useless.

BLODA is good at hiding.

Well, pare the PATH down to just /usr/bin (or set CYGWIN_NOWINPATH in
the system environemnt) and try again. You may be picking up things
from your other installed applications (namely Git) that get in the way.
If so, then you'll maybe find that you will need to install a few
more packages for Cygwin before things start to work.

Achim.
