I didn't try with 1.7.20, but with the current 1.7.21 and with the
latest snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/, on 32 and 64 bit,
and this is what I get on both cases:

  $ uname -r
  1.7.21(0.267/5/3)
  $ gcc -g -fopenmp -o openmp-test openmp-test.c
  $ ./openmp-test
  I'm an openmp thread...
  I'm an openmp thread...
  Parent fork
  Child fork
  $
