That's part of your problem.  FAT does not have as extensive of file
permissions, so on Win9x, cygwin fakes permissions to some degree by
looking at the extension, and treats chmod pretty much as a no-op.  Rename
the file to pbcompiler.exe, to see if that helps.

Hint, we would have known you were on Win98 sooner if you had followed the
directions here:
