With only one Cygwin installation on C: I can only come up with wild guesses. 
Are you somehow alternating between the C: and E: Cygwin versions, or running 
them simultaneously from separate windows, or accidentally running 32-bit Cygwin 
commands from a 64-bit Cygwin terminal window?  Unusual stuff like that?

One sure-fire way to make sure your 32-bit E: installation is not causing havoc 
with your 64-bit C: installation is to temporarily rename E:\cygwin32 to 
E:\somethingelse and retry your build.  This should not be necessary but I don't 
know what else to suggest.

I have in the past run 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin installations simultaneously on 
the same machine, in order to build 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin DLLs at the same 
time.  Never had a problem.  But that was Windows 7 so probably not applicable.

I see what you've been saying about different insider builds of Windows 10 but I 
don't think anybody here is beating up on these releases.
