Easy: Don't call the affected Win32 executable directly.  Call it
through a child process.

Two scenarios:

- Starting the nativ executable from a shell or a Makefile:

  Create a wrapper script which calls

    TMPDIR2="$(cygpath -wa ${TMPDIR2})
      
  before calling your native app.

- Starting the nativ executable from your own process:

  After fork(), call

    const char *tmpdir2_old;
    char *tmpdir2_new;

    tmpdir2_old = getenv ("TMPDIR2");
    tmpdir2_new = (char *) cygwin_create_path (CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_A,
                                               tmpdir2_old);
    setenv ("TMPDIR2", tmpdir2_new, 1);
    free (tmpdir2_new);

  Then call execve or friends.  Alternatively you can construct the
  new environment like the above for any exec call taking an
  environment as argument, i.e, execve, execle, execvpe.
