Looks like it's being added by either the bash shell? itself or something else?. The only i could found is "%{!S:%{!c:%e-c or -S required for Ada}}" inside c++.exe, cpp.exe, g++.exe, gcc.exe. Btw my environment is latest cygwin x86, windows 10 x64 creator update, visual studio 2015 and & 2017 installed, gcc and g++ mingw x86 and x64 installed. Latest cygwin snapshot.
