I think Johannes meant Cygwn filesystem mount attributes. Please run

    $ mount

And you should see "binmode". Here are examples:

    D:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
    D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
    D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
    E:\data\src on /usr/src type system (binmode)

If not, you need to remount directories with "-b" option. See man
mount(1)
