I would not apologize. Your english is better than many native
speakers.

The hard work the Cygwin team has put in to developing the GNU Project
on Windows is greatly admired. However the GNU team generally uses GNU
Operating Systems and do not have access to Cygwin systems or
MS-Windows systems which means that most of us can't help you. It
would be most appreciated if you would make your bug report directly
to the Cygwin folks. They are the experts and best suited to handle
your problem.

I did not even realize that ms-windows supported links, hard or soft!
I learn something new every day. (Really I expect this to be magic
that the Cygwin folks have pulled off to even make this partially
work on ms-windows.)
