[regression-3.6] coreutils mkdir broken on UNC paths

[Cedric Blancher]

Good afternoon!

Cygwin 3.6.0-0.378.g78fb13d21f4f.x86_64, Cygwin coreutils package 9.6-1

coreutils mkdir is broken on UNC paths:

mkdir -p -- "//ember.data4.local/afs/disk11/builds/bash/install_root/usr/local/bin"
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘//ember.data4.local’: Read-only file system

This happens because you cannot do a "cd .." in
//ember.data4.local/afs, because "afs" is the UNC prefix for that
filesystem.
