I did have a /tmp mounted to G:\TEMP, / is mounted to F:\Cygnus, /usr is
mounted to F:\Cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32. I also have a C partition (FAT), and
a D, E, F, G, T are all NTFS. I had the above problem on the G partition
where I was trying to build some source, in a subdirectory under /tmp.
After much experimentation I remounted /tmp on my T partition and the
problem went away. I am not sure why.
