I get the same on a Fedora box, but with a nicer error message:

$ wget https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
--2016-04-13 14:00:44--  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
Resolving cygwin.com (cygwin.com)... 209.132.180.131
Connecting to cygwin.com (cygwin.com)|209.132.180.131|:443... connected.
ERROR: cannot verify cygwin.com's certificate, issued by ‘CN=DigiCert
SHA2 High Assurance Server CA,OU=www.digicert.com,O=DigiCert Inc,C=US’:
  Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.
To connect to cygwin.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

So I don't think it's a bug in the just-uploaded wget 1.17.1-2.
