Effectively, cygwin chmod does not print anything, but does not DO anything 
either:

bash-2.02$ ls -l mccR.c
-rw-r--r--   1 544      IngTnieu      432 Dec  9 11:24 mccR.c
bash-2.02$ chmod a+rwx mccR.c
bash-2.02$ ls -l mccR.c
-rw-r--r--   1 544      IngTnieu      432 Dec  9 11:24 mccR.c
bash-2.02$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 PC35 20.1 (0.3/1/1) 1998-12-3 20:39:18 i586 unknown
bash-2.02$ type chmod
chmod is hashed (/Cygnus/Cygwin-B20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/chmod)
bash-2.02$ cygcheck /Cygnus/Cygwin-B20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/chmod.exe
/Cygnus/Cygwin-B20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/chmod.exe
  /Cygnus/Cygwin-B20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINNT\System32\advapi32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\USER32.dll
        C:\WINNT\System32\GDI32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\RPCRT4.dll

Any idea someone?
