You cannot run Linux binaries on top of Cygwin.

With Cygwin you may build Linux applications from source so that they
can be used inside Windows.  If you need just some special applications
this may be what you want.  To run 'real' Linux inside your Windows OS
you may want to take a look at colinux: http://colinux.org which is a
tool that enables you to boot a Linux kernel inside Windows and gives
access to native Linux binaries.

Regards,
Gerrit
