I've noticed that the newer version of the rpm-build package (4.11-1)
has a really severe bug in that it ignores the %defattr flag in the %
files section of .spec files
Note that a default %defattr is provided since rpm-4.4, and therefore
most uses of it are considered obsolete in Fedora:

That being said, I haven't tried this on Cygwin. But do you actually
have a root user (e.g. by renaming Administrator in /etc/passwd)?
