When I do this, I get:

$ /bin/rebaseall
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/CORE/cygperl5_14_2.dll: 
skipped because nonexistent.
/usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll: skipped 
because wrong machine type.
/usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/cygssh2-1.dll: skipped because 
wrong machine type.
/usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/cygssl-1.0.0.dll: skipped because 
wrong machine type.
/usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/cygz.dll: skipped because wrong 
machine type.

and my emacs behavior is even worse.
