Neither, AFAIK. Cygwin file names look like /cygdrive/e/gtk-3-...
What you show looks like MSYS format, not Cygwin format. This is
consistent with what the OP says about invoking 'global' in
"mingw32.exe window".
In sum, I think the OP should use a consistent set of tools, instead
of mixing subtly incompatible sets. My guess is that his 'global' is
an MSYS application or script, not a native Windows port, whereas his
Emacs is a native build. These don't mix too well.
We have the unmsys--file-name function which might help, but I see no
reason why you as a maintainer will need to get into that.
