You had DOS line endings (\r\n) on your bash script. To bash the \r is just another character, not a line ending, and it was being included with the other arguments. Thus argv[2] was really "--non-recursive\r" which caused the nonzero strcmp() result. The difference between the two testcases results from the fact that argument parsing is done by the runtime of the compiler/library. In Windows there's really only one long command string for the process, it's the job of the CRT to parse it into words for argv[]. The MSVCRT treated the spurious \r as whitespace and did not include it in argv[2] whereas the Cygwin runtime made no such assumption.
