Now i know: in /etc/fstab i have the line:
X:/some/svnrepository /svnX ntfs cygexec,noacl
which works well when X: is there, but which produces
the above message when i'm at home.

End of the story? Not really:
1) perhaps the /usr/bin/ls message would deserve some improvement,
   by naming the failing folder (/svnX)
2) why is the build of cygserver impacted by something that takes
   place at the root directory (see "Trying implicit prerequisite '/version.cc'." in
   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-01/msg00294.html)?

For item 2: Bingo! Perhaps unexpectedly, $(cygwin_source) is unknown within cygwin sources...
Please apply the following:
