Set the variable corresponding to option-name:

igncr on cygwin, ignore \r in line endings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
... this help message should be 'upgraded', should it not?
Sure, I'll tweak that text, once I can find what about igncr is making
PS1 misbehave on \n. But help would be welcome, if anyone else is also
interested in looking into the cygwin-specific patches and actually
reviewing them.
Not only \n ... also on \r:
64-@@ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.46(6)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)
...
64-@@ set -o igncr
64-@@ echo $SHELLOPTS
braceexpand:emacs:hashall:histexpand:history:igncr:ignoreeof:interactive-comments:monitor
64-@@ PS1='$(date)\n# '
bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token
`)'
bash: command substitution: line 1: `date)'
# PS1='$(date)\r# '
bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token
`)'
bash: command substitution: line 1: `date)'
HOWEVER:
# PS1='$(date)\012# '
Tue Aug 30 19:36:15 CEST 2016
# PS1='$(date)\012\n# ' # <==== \n!
Tue Aug 30 19:36:21 CEST 2016
# PS1='$(date)\012\r# ' # <==== \r!
Tue Aug 30 19:36:26 CEST 2016

Perhaps this may help ... in finding the error.
