Hi David,

On my last build of TeX Live from the svn repository (March 5), I got 
the following on cygwin64:

$ ls -l inst/bin/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/luatex.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kbrown None 9425408 2016-03-05 11:23 
inst/bin/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/luatex.exe*

$ file inst/bin/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/luatex.exe
inst/bin/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/luatex.exe: PE32+ executable (console) 
x86-64 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows

I'm not sure why your binary wasn't stripped.  Can you tell by looking 
at the build log?  Here's the relevant line from mine:

libtool: install: /bin/sh 
/home/kbrown/src/texlive/test.x86_64/build-aux/install-sh -c -s 
.libs/luatex.exe 
/home/kbrown/src/texlive/test.x86_64/inst/bin/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/luatex.exe
