Though I am building a different package, I have the same problem as mentioned below. The libtool package downloaded is 46 bytes (effectively null) and get stashed into the _obsolete folder without ever getting installed.
Another problem just noticed is that the setup process is appending a "/" character onto the end of the cygwin directory name on a mirror. e.g. http%3a%2f%2fftp.daum.net%2fcygwin%2f the %2f above. this creates a directory with the same name. Names shouldn't have "/", ok %2f in them in my opinion and it wasn't like this before. For example setup shows get the setup.bz2 file from the following address http://ftp.duam.net/cygwin//setup.bz2 not the two consequtive //'s above. Whether this causes a problem or now I can't say, but I like to keep my downloaded files in the same directory and this is now created a new one with a dangerous name (i.e. an explicit '/' from the %2f. Don't forget the libtool probelm as well. Related or not I do not know.
