127 is a POSIX return code meaning the binary file is not executable and cannot 
be started.
Check what "ldd ./sample" shows.  Most likely you are missing the required 
runtime (dlls).


Especially check that the DLL dependencies including cygwin1.dll are all 
installed in some .../bin/ directory which is at or near the start of your PATH, 
and that any other file dependencies are also installed under the same upper 
level Cygwin "ROOT" directory (the directory above the cygwin1.dll)!


What those file dependencies are will depend on what your program calls e.g.

$ ls -gloU /etc/{mtab,hosts,networks,protocols,services}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 12 Sep  1  2015 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 53 Sep  1  2015 /etc/hosts -> 
../proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 56 Sep  1  2015 /etc/networks -> 
../proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/networks
lrwxrwxrwx 1 56 Sep  1  2015 /etc/protocols -> 
../proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/protocol
lrwxrwxrwx 1 56 Sep  1  2015 /etc/services -> 
../proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/services


also /etc/{fstab,fastab.d/,nsswitch}, /dev/{mqueue,shm}, 
/var/run/{cygfork/,utmp} and others.


Some may be set up by the initialization code, others by the Cygwin Setup 
program, or postinstall scripts, and may need to be set up externally if the 
Cygwin Setup program is not used, e.g. /home/, /tmp/, /usr/, /var/ if the 
program calls functions which use those.

127 is a POSIX return code meaning the binary file is not executable and cannot 
be started.
