I am not sure who maintains the OCaml packages for Cygwin, but the package provided by Cygwin itself is quite old:
https://repology.org/project/ocaml/versions
Maybe it makes sense to push the updates there? It’s not even 4.05!

With cygwin, I suggest you to switch to ocaml for windows, which use the mingw toolchain for the compilation.
Cygwin provide a simple way to install the mingw libraries, and the ocaml compiler and opam packages are in a dedicated repo (ocaml 4.07 is available).
Thanks, but I am aware of this repository. This is why, in fact, I asked why not to update the shipped bins with Cygwin itself.
