In the mount table. See "man mount". Google for "cygwin remount binary" for a handy one-liner.
Thanks. The default mounts seem to be encoded in the Windows registry, as there is not fstab.
By "default mounts", do you mean the /cygdrive auto-mounts?
It also seems I need to change the flags in a key named "cygdrive flags" if I want to change the mount mode of auto-mounted drives. Is that correct?
No, that is *NOT* correct. The mounts are stored in the registry *now*, but they aren't guaranteed to stay in the registry in the future. What is guaranteed, however, is that the "mount" command will *always* manipulate the mount table, wherever it's stored. Cygwin's "mount" is very different from the Linux "mount" -- you really should read the "mount" manpage.
The flags on the auto-mounted drives can be changed by setting them in conjunction with the --change-cygdrive-prefix (-c) mount flag. So, to make them binary, just say
mount -sbc /cygdrive
