Surely you don't mean DOS? DOS doesn't exist in Windows any more
(unless
you are using an emulator like DosBox or a VM).
Do you mean a cmd.exe console window? (cmd.exe is a Windows
console-mode
program that, despite appearances, is not "DOS." DOS was a real-mode
single-tasking operating system.)

Yes, a cmd.exe console window.
Hardly the point :-) ...
But I think your problem may be that the Cygwin dlls need to be on
the search path,
and you're hoping that none of them have names that are the same as
ones earlier on
the path ...

I did try copying all of the .dll files in the Cygwin bin folder to
the same folder where the copy of Cygwin's tar.exe sits. That folder
appears first in the PATH. But despite that, trying to invoke tar
from the cmd window still pops up the window saying cyggcc_s-1.dll
can't be found.
I meant that your PATH should have the Cygwin bin folder in it,
somewhere. Does that not work for you? But my setup definitely has
the cyggcc_s-1.dll file in /bin and /usr/bin.
It comes from the libgcc1 package (libgcc1-9.3.0-2 in my case).
Some independent comments:
* I see cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll in the libgcc1 package, not cyggcc_s-1.dll
* My current cygwin tar does not depend on cyggcc_s-1.dll
* Maybe your cygwin tar is an older release, now and then gcc library
conventions have changed
