Why would you think that you can cp t as just t but you'd have to touch
t.exe?
The real name of the file is t.exe, for touch, cp, rm, etc. The only time
that just
t suffices is for exec.
Because it used to work on older cygwin. I suspect exactly to get Makefile

Hi
Since upgrading cygwin a few days ago, I can no longer cp .exe files if
I don't use the .exe suffix. I can reproduce this as follows:
$ mkdir a
$ touch t.exe
$ cp t a
cp: `t' and `a/t' are the same file
$ cp t somenonexistingfilename
cp: 't' and 'somenonexistingfilename' are the same file
