I am having a problem with the access() function in cygwin-1.7.
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38956

$ touch foobar_file
$ chmod a-w foobar_file

$ cat test_access.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main (void) {
   char *file="foobar_file";
   int m = W_OK;
   printf("access = %d\n",access(file,m));
}

$ touch foobar_file
$ chmod a-w foobar_file

Under cygwin-1.5
$ ./test_access
access = -1

Under cygwin-1.7
$  ./test_access.exe
access = -1
