It says to "unpack *and use*" ;) It also says you need cygwin1.dll in PATH.
Last NOTE says you don't need the Cygwin shell to unpack.

But actually the problem is with file:

I've missed the gzip command from non-Cygwin unpack instrs :(

This unpack method was a total oversight on the part of the developers,
but probably they assumed Cygwin shell is something which all
Windows users like and use.

Updated:

--- HARBOUR_README_MINGWARM
If this directory is empty, download package from below link
and unpack into this directory.

https://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=173455&use_mirror=switch&filename=cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar.gz&a=34126466

NOTES: - In order to unpack and *use* this package, you'll
         need Cygwin package (from http://cygwin.com) installed
         and put in PATH for Cygwin runtime (cygwin1.dll).
       - To unpack:
            > sh
            $ tar -zxvf cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar.gz
            $ exit
       - Move content of /opt/mingw32ce directory to this one.
       - If you feel unconfortable with Cygwin shell, you can
         use gzip and GNU Tar to unpack it from Windows command
         line, using these commands:
            > gzip -d cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar.gz
            > tar -xvf cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar -h

Brgds,
