1.1.8: bug in \\ handling in absolute fns

I have found that when I do:
mkdir /x
touch /x/y # ok
touch /x\\z # fails
touch d:/cygwin/x\\z # ok
cd /x
touch z # ok
touch ./z # ok
touch .\\z # ok
I get the results as mentioned. This causes a newer gcc to fail to
work, as libiberty uses \ to separate names in my toolchain, and TEMP
is set by cygwin to /cygdrive/c/TEMP. And this combination doesn't
work, as mentioned above. This worked in B19. While libiberty could
be made to not do this, or to canonicalize the pathnames, I feel that
this is the wrong approach.
