No, Cygwin provides a POSIX-compliant layer, plus the development tools required
to make use of it. MSYS provides a tool chain (gcc et al) to build native Win32

Nothing that I am aware of uses the /full/ native NTFS POSIX subsystem, because
it is inherently evil:

Pay close attention to the "Resolution" for that particular error... :~o
