Perhaps that's because "strace" isn't a Cygwin program:
% cygcheck strace
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\strace.exe
D:\cygwin\bin\strace.exe
D:\WINNT\System32\msvcrt.dll
D:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
D:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL
Cygcheck itself exhibits the same symptom (it also is not linked against libcygwin.a):
% cygcheck /bin/strace
/bin/strace - Cannot open
% cygcheck /bin/strace.exe
/bin/strace.exe - Cannot open

It seems that sometimes, full path confuses strace. For example in my system:~> strace /bin/ls strace.exe: error creating process /bin/ls , (error 3) ~> strace ls [Works, lots of output]
