sorry
0xa is the flags return by strace when checking a binary mounted file like. 
of course, strace dosn't know the #define or enum strings


for example,
run:  strace cygpath -M /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util/map-KOI8-R (which is 
mounted a binary)
[....]
282  712265 [main] cygpath 404 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util/map-KOI8-R, dst 
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\util\map-KOI8-R, flags >>>>> 0xA <<<<<<, rc 0
[....]

in fact 0xA = PATH_BINARY + (something else) , where PATH_BINARY =0x2

we have following calls
cygpath -> cygwin_internal(CW_GET_BINMODE) -> path_conv::check which set 
path_flags to 0xA for binary, and then returns O_BINARY or O_TEXT to 
cygpath, depending of the mode.

for c:/foo, path_conv::check  set path_flags to zero and 
cygwin_internal(CW_GET_BINMODE) returns zero instead of O_BINARY or O_TEXT
