It depends on what you mean by "should".  If it was up to me, the answer
would be "no".  If it is up to Microsoft, the answer is "yes".  Cygwin
can't override the underlying OS.

I'm not aware of any way to override this.  I suppose that on NT you
could open the file in POSIX mode, but cygwin has no way of doing this
via fopen.
