(A minimal installation plus gcc.) gcc (3.2) generates files which are not executable. chmod u+x filename fails claiming an incorrect parameter. Going back to the previous cygwin package lets me use chmod but it appears to have no effect. From a WinXP command line an attempt to run such an executable gives an "Access is denied" error message.
