No chance. I tried this for a good hour now with the unpatched Cygwin
DLL on 32 bit W7 and 64 bit W10 in 32 and 64 bit in a Windows console,
and I can't provoke this error. It just works for me.

What exactly is failing? If you installed all the packages mentioned in
the FAQ entry, plus building outside the source tree as outlined, you
should be fine. Alternatively, install the cygport package and the
2.4.0-0.16 source package and build that via
cygport cygwin.cygport prep compile
That should get you started.
