The newline is there. You can check the sources for yourself, if
you want. I just tried it myself and it is definitely there:
bash-2.05b$ cygcheck --version
cygcheck version 1.29
System Checker for Cygwin
Copyright 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Red Hat, Inc.

Usage: cygcheck [OPTIONS] [program ...]
-c, --check-setup check packages installed via setup.exe
-s, --sysinfo system information (not with -k)
-v, --verbose verbose output (indented) (for -s or programs)

-k, --keycheck perform a keyboard check session (not with -s)
-h, --help give help about the info (not with -c)

You must at least give either -s or -k or a program name
bash-2.05b$
