Thank David and Andy, i'm very appreciate for your replies, your answers are 
so helpful for me. 

But there is a little issue when i'm using command:
"mount -o cygexec -o managed /cygdrive/d/testdir1 /testdir2". 

I'm not familiar with Win32's path syntax under cygwin, so error stdout of 
shell always show me:
"mount: /testdir: Invalid argument". 

Can you tell me what is wrong with my syntax? Or can you give me a good 
example using "-o managed"?

Below is my mount stdout:
C:\MyDownloads\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\MyDownloads\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\MyDownloads\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount)
f: on /cygdrive/f type system (binmode,noumount)
g: on /cygdrive/g type system (binmode,noumount)

Actually, i just need to compile linux kernel on x86 arch. So if the case-
sensitive problem is solved, can it fix my original problem?

Sorry for my limited knowledge, but i really need this for work.
