cygcheck.exe is not a cygwin program.  It is a native windows program,
and thus either (a) uses Windows support for time zone data, not cygwin,
or (b) has some special code to mimic cygwin's tz handling, which may
not be up-to-par.  You'll have to check the source code to be sure, but
I rather doubt (b).
