Copying a binary to Windows and getting it to run is not an aim of the 
Cygwin/X project, nor of the Cygwin project in general.  You would need 
a SPARC emulator and an installation of Solaris under the emulator in 
order to do something like that.  Anyway, this is way off-topic for this 
mailing list.  Please take this discussion to a list that can actually 
help you.
