Running 64bit processes from 32bit Cygwin

Hi all, I have a problem with running powershell scripts from within cygwin.. basically no matter what I do it always ends up running the powershell process as 32bit when invoked from within Cygwin. This normally wouldn't make a difference, but I need to use a powershell extension that only exists

rm behaviour when file in use by Windows app?

why the strange stack stuf in cygwin?

Why does Cygwin do such wierd stuff with the top of the stack? Is this to have thread locals faster than TlsGetValue offers? Is it worth it? (The cost: harder to LoadLibrary(cygwin1.dll), harder to port to other architectures, the strange path where DllMain "respawns", etc.) - Jay -- U
