I agree, it's an abomination, but hey, it is windows, I thought
it "deserved" a try...

My home directory (/home) on my windows machine is backed up daily. I
reasoned that since the 'build' specification is a 'cache' directory of recent
builds, putting under /var/cache would be a logical choice (as it doesn't get
backed up daily on my windows machine....:-)).

(Context(list) check?) You want me to post a cygcheck output to
perl5-porters to debug a perl problem? I said it *does not* look like it
is a cygwin specific bug.

You mean the cygwin mount params, like (output of "mount -m"):
mount -f -s -b "C:/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "C:/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "C:" "/"
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/"
or drive mappings/linkings? :
"/Share@ -> /s"
/s = network drive ('S:\') pointing to resource //IServer/Share
and (from MyConfig.pm): 'keep_source_where' => q[/Share/CPAN/sources],
I'm pretty sure it's the same bug as http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32813
