The symlink /usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-cygwin/ctan-o-mat is 
wrong on Cygwin.  It points to the shell script 
../../texmf-dist/scripts/ctan-o-mat/ctan-o-mat instead of the perl 
script ../../texmf-dist/scripts/ctan-o-mat/ctan-o-mat.pl as it does on 
other unix-like platforms.

This was probably my fault, but I've just committed the correct symlink. 
  I apologize, and I hope this commit will still make into the release. 
If not, it will have to be fixed afterwards.
