Sorry, I don't understand; please elaborate.  Do you mean to say that 
Cygwin's port of GCC produces *.exe programs whose Execute bit is not 
set?  In other words, if I say "gcc hello.c -o hello.exe", do you mean to 
say that the produced hello.exe cannot be immediately invoked, without 
running chmod on it first?
