I noticed an anomaly within both 32bit and 64bit distributions of
OpenSSH. The package maintainer inadvertently placed the architectures in
their opposition. At 1st glance I thought I had clicked the wrong icon
thinking I was using 64bit within 32bit's space, and vice-versa.
The latest OpenSSH package from both 32 and 64 bit resources displays
the following:
FROM 32bit Cygwin (C:\cygwin)

^^^^^^^^^
I assume you're basing your conclusion on the above information.
In conclusion: 32bit OpenSSH is in Cygwin64, and 64bit OpenSSH is in Cygwin32.
You're mistaken. SysWOW64 is what 64-bit Windows uses to run 32-bit
executables. If you 'ldd' other Cygwin 32-bit executables, you'll see the
same thing. This is what's expected for any 32-bit Windows executable
actually.
