Here's a testcase:
$ cat >tc.c <<EOF
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char buf[512];
GetModuleFileName (NULL, buf, sizeof (buf));
puts (buf);
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc -mno-cygwin tc.c
$ ./a
\\?\C:\cygwin\home\brian\testcases\native-argv0\a.exe
You can also reproduce this just by running "tclsh". The problem is
that tcl is a native app and uses the w32api directly, and so these
native paths leak into it and it's un-equipped to use them properly.
