Specifically, it's the "make install tooldir=foo".

Looking at this, I've noticed that it contains a difference from the
standard release tarballs:
It overwrites libc and libm with symlinks to libcygwin. The official
releases do not do this.

(For the exact build machinery used for official releases, see mknetrel, in
the cygwin-apps cvs repo).
