OK so if I understand correctly, the redundant mount here is effectively
useless, as the "/" mount is done in binary mode, but is created by the
cygwin-Xfree post-install script because "/" may be mounted in text mode.

My question was just motivated by the fact the mount option were identical;
I ask it here because this is in fact a general cygwin topic: if I *need*
something to be accessed in binary mode (and don't want to look at all
refering programs) I must mount the tree binary, even if the mount may be,
in some cases, redundant. 

And that is not, IMNSHO, off-topic.
