Cygwin can't magically add POSIX semantics to Windows programs, so what's
being done on the build systems is outside the realm of Cygwin and, as such,
would be generally off-topic for this list.  However, if I were to hazard
a guess, I would surmise that the build machines have the path you indicate
at the root of the drive they run the build from (C: perhaps?).  You might
want to check that.

Perhaps 'cygcheck -srv' will help if you need to compare Cygwin
installations for some other reason?
