[Bug fortran/38956] tests gfortran.dg/chmod_{1,2,3}.f90 fails on i686-pc-cygwin

------- Comment #4 from billingd at gcc dot gnu dot org  2009-01-29 22:14 -------
Tests gfortran.dg/chmod_2.f90 and gfortran.dg/chmod_3.f90 also fail.

There is also some discussion at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2009-01/msg00353.html

In each case, the failure is due to the test

  i = chmod (n, "a-w")
  if (i == 0 .and. getuid() /= 0) then
    if (access(n,"w") == 0 .or. access(n,"W") == 0) call abort
  end if

The problem is that users with Administrator rights can always
write to files - similar to root on unix - but it is not easy to test for this.

I will prepare a patch that moves the parts that fail to a new test that is
UNSUPPORTED on cygwin.
