To build an executable from source using Cygwin, use the Cygwin provided
compiler (g++/gcc, g77, etc).  This links in cygwin1.dll.  cygwin1.dll
provides POSIX support.  Cygwin does not have a special binary format.  The
executables created by it's compilers target the Windows platform.  There
is no need to modify the binary that results in any way in order to get
it to run with Cygwin or Windows.
