I assume your archives are coorupted during download.
Second under /cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/4.0.3 I do not distribute
any file called "xfree86-4.0.3.tar" From where did you get it?
Download from:
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/4.0.3/
then unbzip2 and untar in /usr/X11R6. Instructions to install are at
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/docs/howto/cygwin-xfree-ug.html
