OK. It does. Without CYGWIN=tty, I get the output to the console.
What shall I miss without it?

Perhaps correct interaction with Emacs? I can't remember which
variant of Emacs offered with Cygwin won't handle everything
correctly without PTYs. You can have a stroll through the email
archives to find the details if you're so inclined (and no one else
here speaks up first).

Without CYGWIN=tty, Emacs won't work well in the Cygwin console. But you can use it in any of the other Cygwin terminals (or under X).
