error running linker

[Tres Finocchiaro]

If this command is getting its parameter from a previous command, make
sure to sanitize the stderr that comes from Cygwin.  Normally, this
isn't a problem, but ant specifically included stderr and stdout
together when parsing a command.

https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/commit/2714a017c9fada761e3d175d1e03f1d3bccaa14f

This above example is using ant's "apply", but any ant executed output
can suffer from this problem where stderr is mixed with stdout.  It's
not a cygwin bug, but rather a nuance with ant that surfaces with
Cygwin.
