This version aborts if "Sync" setting is reverted to "Best".

Steps to reproduce:
- Install from Internet
- For All Users
- Use System Proxy Settings
- Mirror: any
- Change "Best" -> "Sync"
- Change "Sync" -> "Best"

Result: Setup silently aborts, no setup.log* written.

Console output:

Could not be reproduced with the released cygwin*.exe 2.919 from 
https://cygwin.com/

Could also be reproduced with
- 32-bit version
- current git HEAD
- a rebuild of 2.919 from "git checkout release_2.919"

Possible problem in conjunction with newer versions Mingw-w64 toolchain ?

$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ --version
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ (GCC) 11.3.0

$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.38


Found during testing of my recent setup patches ("Unneeded" view, 
keyboard accelerators Ctrl+I/R/U), see cygwin-apps.
