Yes. The problem is that the "getuid" (= get numerical user id) is a 
Unix concept; I think Windows does not use numerical IDs but name-based 
ids. Similar for "chmod" (change file mode): Windows has also file 
access modes, but they follow a different concept (Access Control Lists, 
ACLs). While cygwin emulates a Unix surrounding, mingw does not and thus 
these commands do not work. (That is at least how I understand it, I 
might be wrong.)

As there is no obvious implementation choice, one can also not implement 
it in libgfortran.
