Does not WFM:

$ ldd /usr/bin/ls.exe
         ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll 
(0x7ffe93c00000)
         KERNEL32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/KERNEL32.DLL 
(0x7ffe912d0000)
         KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/KERNELBASE.dll 
(0x7ffe90310000)

(no different results from /bin/ls or /bin/ls.exe, either).

This is with ldd.exe from cygwin-2.5.1-1, on Win10 64bit, installed into 
c:\cygwin64
