I'm installing Cygwin 64-bit on a fresh Win 7 x64 installation.
Before running setup.exe I've set the system env var CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native
After that I ran setup-x86_64.exe and installed cygwin64.
The symlinks to .exe files in bin, created by setup, are not native
symlinks, they are cygwin symlinks. Apparently, setup doesn't honor
the winsymlinks:native CYGWIN option. Is that intended (why?) or a
bug?
