Copying a binary to Windows and getting it to run is not an aim of the
Cygwin/X project, nor of the Cygwin project in general. You would need
a SPARC emulator and an installation of Solaris under the emulator in
order to do something like that. Anyway, this is way off-topic for this
mailing list. Please take this discussion to a list that can actually
help you.
