Run Cygwin 32 - there only used to be 32 bit Cygwin and old posts 
assume that environment.

Native 64 bit directories are:

	C:\Windows\System32 (64 bit)	C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (32 bit)

under 32 bit redirection these become:

	C:\Windows\SysNative (64 bit)	C:\Windows\System32 (32 bit)

to support poorly written programs that don't use the proper API call 
to get the directory name; see:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187(v=vs.85).aspx

for full list of paths redirected from 32 bit code on a 64 bit system.
