I have one other thought.  There was a recent packaging change in harfbuzz and 
freetype2 that introduced a circular dependency between the two:

   https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-September/249317.html

Since those are the two DLLs that are causing a problem for you, maybe that 
circular dependency doesn't work well on Cygwin for some reason.  Please try 
downgrading to the previous versions of harfbuzz and freetype2 and see if that 
fixes the problem.
