Defining -DWIN32 is not usually a good idea.  It usually causes packages
to use windows specific code and workarounds which are not necessary
for cygwin.

Is it possible to provide a little more pinpoint control to get the
files opened with O_BINARY?

Usually I do something like this:

#ifndef O_BINARY
#define O_BINARY 0
#endif

.
.
.
  open("foo", O_CREATE|O_TRUNC|O_BINARY);
