That's the version number of the setup-x86_64.exe tool, not the version
number of Cygwin.  Try `uname -r'.

Works fine for me on Cygwin 1.7.27:

  $ uname -rm
  1.7.27(0.271/5/3) x86_64
  $ file --version
  file-5.13
  magic file from /usr/share/misc/magic
  $ ./popen-test
    buf1 =3D /usr/bin/file.exe
    buf2 =3D /usr/bin/file.exe: application/x-dosexec
  $

The fact that fgets returns NULL doesn't mean an error occured.  fgets
also returns NULL at EOF, meaning no output in this case, which you
should test, too:

  if (fgets(buf2, sizeof buf2, f2))
    printf("  buf2 =3D %s", buf2);
  else if (feof (f2))
    fputs ("fgets2 EOF\n", stderr);
  else
    perror("fgets2");

Maybe you're calling the wrong file command?  What's your $PATH set to?
What if you change your popen call to run /usr/bin/file.exe with full
path?

  if ((f2 =3D popen("/usr/bin/file --mime-type /usr/bin/file.exe", "r")))
