Sounds an *awful* lot like you're looking at the binary packages rather than
the source packages. What precisely did you download, and what command did
you run to decompress it?
The proper way to get cygwin source packages is through setup.exe, using the
checkbox on the chooser next to the package you want. When you download them
they get cached in your local package dir, and when you install them (either
from there or directly from the net) they get expanded into your /usr/src dir.
That's probably the way you really want to be doing it. In my local package
directory I have a subdir called[*]
http%3a%2f%2fwww.mirrorservice.org%2fsites%2fsourceware.org%2fpub%2fcygwin/rel
ease/gcc-mingw/gcc-mingw-core
and that contains

And having used setup.exe to install the gcc-mingw-core source package from
my local dir, I now have in /usr/src:

Ouch. That probably got turned into a nightmare of linewrapping by the
mailer, but I hope you get the idea.
cheers,
