PR PR38956 is the failure of four gfortran tests on i686-pc-cygwin.

The problem is due to a mismatch between Windows and POSIX file access models. Under Windows, accounts with Administrator rights can write to any file regardless of the file permission. There is no easy way to check for this.
Some time ago - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-01/msg01499.html -
I proposed a couple of different fixes.  I suggested modifying the tests
so that some functionality was tested on cygwin, but others preferred this
simpler fix.  Let's do it.
OK for trunk and 4.4?

OK

Thanks,

Jerry
