Run Cygwin 32 - there only used to be 32 bit Cygwin and old posts
assume that environment.
Native 64 bit directories are:
C:\Windows\System32 (64 bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (32 bit)
under 32 bit redirection these become:
C:\Windows\SysNative (64 bit) C:\Windows\System32 (32 bit)
to support poorly written programs that don't use the proper API call
to get the directory name; see:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187(v=vs.85).aspx
for full list of paths redirected from 32 bit code on a 64 bit system.
