Cygwin does no such thing.  Read up on the PATH environment variable:

PAGER='less +1017' man bash

You can change the PATH by using "export PATH=<somevalue>".  You (or some
script) probably prepended "/tmp/g95/bin" to your PATH.  Starting a new
shell sets PATH to its default value (not that simple, but close enough),
which doesn't contain that directory.

FWIW, if you'd attached the output of "cygcheck -svr" to your message,
instead of simply quoting choice bits from it, it would have helped
confirm the above.
