It does not exist.

My Cygwin installation on the old WinXP-PC actually was an 
upgrade of an older Cygwin installation (from 2007 or so), 
not a new installation from scratch. Maybe it was not a very 
wise strategy to try to upgrade such an oldtimer ;-> ...
I will remove the upgraded Cygwin installation and then 
install from scratch. I'm confident, this will solve the 
problems...

Thanks a lot for your advice.

Best regards,
Sven
