I had installed the default cygwin a few months ago, and then last night I updated my installation to add the dos2unix tools (namely, I needed d2u.exe, diff.exe, sdiff.exe and u2d.exe, which I was able to add in the update). I am still missing the tools ar.exe and make.exe. However, when I added the tools, I also started getting the following error message in my cygwin window upon startup.

You seems to have a very weird mount table
C:\cygwin64\usr\local / system binary,auto
C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin /usr/bin system binary,auto
C:\cygwin64\usr\local\lib /usr/lib system binary,auto
cygdrive prefix /cygdrive user binary,auto
my one looks like
E:\cygwin64 / system binary,auto
E:\cygwin64\bin /usr/bin system binary,auto
E:\cygwin64\lib /usr/lib system binary,auto
cygdrive prefix /cygdrive user binary,auto
Have you installed cygwin multiple times in different places ?
Cygwin installations found in the registry:
System: Key: e022582115c10879 Path: C:\cygwin64
User: Key: e022582115c10879 Path: C:\cygwin64
User: Key: e9b5963264e345a0 Path: C:\cygwin64\usr\local
I doubt the double intersecting installations behave very well...
First use regedit to remove at least this one
User: Key: e9b5963264e345a0 Path: C:\cygwin64\usr\local
than eventually reinstall some of the packages.

ar.exe is in binutils
make.exe is in make (of course)
