not sure whether this is relevant, but there is no drive letter in that library path.

cygwin doesn't know about /mingw anyway, but if i am in a cmd shell,
it does matter what drive i'm on, as absolute paths without drive letter
will default to the root of that drive:

    D:\>c:\mingw\bin\ld \mingw\lib\crt2.o -M | find "OUTPUT"
    c:\mingw\bin\ld: \mingw\lib\crt2.o: No such file: No such file or directory

    C:\>c:\mingw\bin\ld \mingw\lib\crt2.o -M | find "OUTPUT"
    ..
    OUTPUT(a.exe pei-i386)
