That's a typical rebaseall problem, as advertised in the perl ANNOUNCEMENT.

Install rebase, read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.4.4.README

snip
Use the following procedure to rebase your entire system:

    1. shutdown all Cygwin processes and services
    2. start ash (do not use bash or rxvt)
    3. execute /bin/rebaseall (in the ash window)
