Yes.

1) 1.0.13 is really old. Use newer versions. mingw-get should help you
there.

2) you really shouldn't download the packages and manually unpack them
(you can, but why would you?).  Use mingw-get instead.

3) You apparently are using the cygwin version of rebaseall. Don't.  We
have an msys version of the rebase package that includes an msys-ized
rebaseall script, which does not reference /etc/setup/* listfiles.
You'll also need to install msys-dash.
