It's a symbolic link and you apparently have "nowinsymlinks" in your
CYGWIN environment variable. You either need to unset that and recreate
the symbolic links (and others referring to executables on your system) or
always run these from a shell like bash that understands Cygwin symbolic
links (not windows shortcuts).
