You are definitely missing and need to install libffi8 and libgc1.

Your installation is missing these, so Cygwin Setup Program should have detected 
and installed these along with libguile3.0_1, as they are dependencies and not 
installed!

Please always ensure that you download, install, and run the latest

	https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe

although it need not be updated if unchanged as determined by `wget -N` or
`curl -z`, and that all Cygwin processes have terminated before proceeding, os 
that all dlls and exes can be updated.

Before running the Cygwin Setup Program again, you may wish to check
/var/log/setup.log.full for errors e.g

	$ grep -i 'error:\|warning:' /var/log/setup.log.full
