Endianness is usually a property of the architecture[*].  Since both
Cygwin and Windows run on the same architecture, there are no endianness
issues.

However, Cygwin and Windows do have different formats for filesystem
paths, and may also have different concepts of line endings.  You need to
make sure that the path your Cygwin executable gets is in the format that
Cygwin understands.  If that is not your problem, you'll need to provide
more details, and perhaps a <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#STC>.
