Ah....
I have my cygwin "cygdrive path prefix" set to "/"
mount -p
Prefix Type Flags
/ user binmode
You should be able to set it once:
mount -c /
I also have my "cygwin" installed in "C:\"
not "C:\cygwin".
With those two changes, my cygwin and windows paths
are identical (except for backslash or forward slash).
Forgot about that -- have had it in root for over 10 years...since I
first installed cygwin.
FWIW -- I **might** call this a minor bug (or feature deficit).
If you ahve native mode set for the symlinks, then, I would
argue that it shouldn't insert a "cygwin/c" in the path...
Windows won't let you create a symlink to a non-existent path
(you can on unix or linux), so when it fails for any reason --
cygwin falls back to storing the link in a file.
