Executable flag

On NTFS, where POSIX semantics can be emulated, cygwin obeys
POSIX default rules (creating or opening a file does not set the
x bits unless specially requested).  On FAT, where the file system
has no good support, cygwin is helpless.  So I fail to reproduce
the problem you are reporting.  You may also want to consider
using umask.

For any more help from us, you need to give a better problem
report, preferably including instructions of how to reproduce a
scenario where you think cygwin was doing the wrong thing.
