I tried to strace it.
$ strace.exe /usr/bin/curl.exe -V

There was a popup window.  Its translated message was:
curl.exe - system error
{no entry point found} could not locate the entry point memrchr of
the process in the dynamic linked library cygwin1.dll

Then you don't have the latest version (1.7.16-1) of the 'cygwin' package.

I do have it: $ cygcheck -c cygwin Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status cygwin 1.7.16-1 OK


True but...

... you're not running it. Apparently, you've installed the new package while other Cygwin programs were running (like your services) so it couldn't replace the in-use old version. Do a reboot.
