The caveats are mentioned in the Cygwin UG. See:

https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html#setup-env-win32
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-win32-api
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/programming.html#gcc-64

One additional caveat I am aware of which possibly should be documented 
there, but isn't, is basically "Don't try to use DllMain() in a Cygwin 
DLL, unless you know exactly what you are doing".
