Ahem.  Shouldn't this be

$ export tooldir=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32
$ ls -ld ${tooldir}/../lib/w32api
drwxrwxr-x+   2 Administ SYSTEM          0 Jul 30 17:25 /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/../lib/w32api/
$

(note the "../")?  As you can see, works just fine for me.

To the OP: your problem may potentially be that you're missing the
/usr/lib mount.  However, since you didn't follow the Cygwin problem
reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, and didn't
attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" to your report, the above is just a
WAG.
