Nothing in cygcheck (that I know of).
If you're using NTFS, and changing CYGWIN=ntsec (the default) to
CYGWIN=nontsec solves a problem with file permissions, then there
is something else going on. Normally, if the filesystem on your disk(s)
is NTFS then you want CYGWIN=ntsec in order to get the UNIX-like
file permissions.
