NFS uses the unofficial fattr3 interface to fetch real stat(2) info from
the remote FS, see
https://cygwin.com/cgit/newlib-cygwin/tree/winsup/cygwin/local_includes/nfs.h
https://cygwin.com/cgit/newlib-cygwin/tree/winsup/cygwin/nfs.cc#n19

Cygwin "doesn't turn them off".  Cygwin recognizes the filesystem as
being an NFS filesystem and uses special non-Windowsy access methods
provided by the MS_NFS client.

If you want ACL support for the NFSv4 client, I made a couple of
suggestions how to integrate stuff in Cygwin in November:
