The number of times that you typed:

  sa_buf = close_on_exec ()
              ? sec_user_nih ((PSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) char_sa_buf, cygheap->user.sid())
              : sec_user ((PSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) char_sa_buf, cygheap->user.sid());

implies that this should be a macro or a function.

Could the setting of close_on_exec be handled in the syscalls.cc open()
so that it doesn't have to be done so many times?  You could have
build_fh_name set the noexec flag so that close_on_exec() would still
work in the fhandler_*::open functions.
