The problem with all those is that they bypass setup.exe which could
result in a corrupted installation and many more problems.

They would be appropriate if the original requester wasn't trying to
extract Cygwin packages.

 The original poster gave no indication that he was trying to extract Cygwin packages.  See original post above.
(Yes, I am aware that he also posted to cygwin-apps under a different subject.  Larry Hall properly rerouted the thread and gave the correct answer.  I don't subscribe to cygwin-apps.  Apparently Michael does.)
