Cygwin does not create symlinks as junctions. No idea where you got that idea.
$ echo $CYGWINwinsymlinks:nativestrict
$ /usr/bin/ln -s default.GGG6q test1

$ (unset CYGWIN; /usr/bin/ln -s default.GGG6q test2.nocygwin)

I have CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native
A JUNCTION is created if you try to ln to nonexisting file or directory.
If you ln to an existing directory you get a SYMLINKD and for an
existing file you get SYMLINK, as expected!
