Hello,
After Setup.exe updated gettext in my CYGWIN installation, I got this
error when building a software:

C:/cygwin64/bin/msgfmt.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
cygunistring-5.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

After manually installing libunistring5, the problem disappeared.
Probably, libunistring5 should be added as required dependency when
installing/upgrading gettext.

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini.
