mount -X is a bit of a workaround.  While it speeds up starting
apps from that directory, it disallows correct argument passing
for non-Cygwin applications in the same directory.  Therefore
the two additional mount -x for strace and cygcheck, bot mingw
apps.

I don't think that's a good idea to default /bin to -X.
