I could be off-base, but two quick thoughts:
1) Do the file permissions include x (executable) permission
as shown by ls -l?
2) Above you used ./BIRCD and bircd interchangeably for the names,
but in cygwin names can be case-sensitive. Have you tried the
case (upeer vs. lower) of the letters of the name exactly as
ls reports?
