First of all, don't do that. Use POSIX paths.
Second, it's not passed as UTF-8 if the called application is a
non-Cygwin application. In fact, Cygwin calls CreateProcessW, so all
strings are converted to UTF-16 (aka UNICODE) when starting a non-Cygwin
child process.
Third, as for Cygwin apps, don't use WIN_A, use WIN_W instead, because
that's encoding agnostic:
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
size_t len;
wchar_t *w32_path;
char *psx_path;
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
len = mbstowcs (NULL, argv[1], 0) + 1;
w32_path = (wchar_t *) malloc (len * sizeof (wchar_t));
mbstowcs (w32_path, argv[1], len);
psx_path = (char *) cygwin_create_path (CCP_WIN_W_TO_POSIX, w32_path);
[...]
}
