Sounds like a duplicate/old cygwin1.dll problem to me... Make sure your /bin/cygwin1.dll was actually replaced by setup (i.e., no Cygwin processes were running while you ran setup). A reboot should help. If not, post the output of 'cygcheck "`cygpath -w /bin/cygwin1.dll`"' (or, better yet, the full 'cygcheck -svr').
It eventually ended up being a "need to restart" issue. The funny thing is that I had tried this before and did indeed reboot but still had the problem so I installed the older versions of cygwin and gawk. Now I tried again and got the same error message I remember the first time so I posted. After rebooting this time it works. Strange.
