Cygwin handles setuid differently. See
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid
The easiest way for you to run mysql as a lower-privileged user could be to
run the runas command. For example
runas /user:mysql c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
Then from the newly spawned shell, try running the mysql command
start-stop-daemon --start -c mysql -q -x /usr/bin/yes
