Just to say: the instructions at
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2022-November/010810.html
work really well. I used the following single command at the Command Prompt:
"setup-x86-2.924.exe --allow-unsupported-windows
--site http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2022/11/23/063457
-P package1,package2,..,packageN"
(all on one line) to recover completely my original Cygwin32 platform
(being Base + list of required additions).
PS1: If you visit this page there is an intrusive word "option" in the instruction
.. '--allow-unsupported-windows option --site circa_URL' ..
PS2: Can't actually remember where or how I got the required executable
setup-x86-2.924.exe

You're welcome.

Yes, there's an unfortunate typo in that mail. I've since fixed it on
the installer page [1], but I am lacking a time machine to fix the
original email :)

If you didn't have it already, it's linked a bit a bit further down that
page, after "You have been warned... if you really need a 32-bit Cygwin...".
