Thanks for reporting this.

Giving the actual error you see, rather than "an error" would be helpful.

Attaching the setup log file would also be helpful.

This looks like a packaging hiccup with clang:

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Fcompiler-rt%2Fcompiler-rt-5.0.1-1&grep=llvm-objdump.exe.stackdump

I think you can safely ignore this error, for the moment.
