And if it's that you're trying to do an in-place upgrade of an existing 
32-bit Cygwin installation to 64-bit, you can't do that either.  AFAIAA, 
you need to do a fresh 64-bit installation to a different tree, and then 
copy your locally changed and locally created files from the old 32-bit 
tree to the new 64-bit one.
