Cygwin-style symlinks are only understood by Cygwin-compiled programs.
Your Emacs is not a Cygwin program; to it, a symlink is just a weird
data file. I guess the Windows shell tried to execute it as a DOS
.com image or something.
As long as you use a non-Cygwin Emacs, I'd suggest to find all
symlinks to programs on your machine and replace them with copies,
like you did with gunzip.
