OK done.  Well it does something different now, but still doesn't work:

jwilliams AT G435-9029 /cygdrive/d/uClinux-dist/user/init
$ export CYGWIN=ntea

jwilliams AT G435-9029 /cygdrive/d/uClinux-dist/user/init
$ ls -alrt init
-rw-r--r--    1 jwilliam Domain U    27984 Apr 15 11:45 init

jwilliams AT G435-9029 /cygdrive/d/uClinux-dist/user/init
$ chmod 777 init
chmod: changing permissions of `init': Bad file descriptor

jwilliams AT G435-9029 /cygdrive/d/uClinux-dist/user/init
$ ls -alrt init
-rw-r--r--    1 jwilliam Domain U    27984 Apr 15 11:45 init
