In addition the Emacs Makefiles don't work in that mode, they somehow depend on --unix (the opposite option). If the Emacs Makefiles would work in --win32 mode, that mode could probably be changed to use a Windows style path for CURDIR, I would think that using Cygwin paths in --win32 mode is a bug. At the moment that option seems like more work than I would want to handle. > but if you would like to work on a conditional that does not break > the build with mingw32 versions of make or when older versions of > cygpath are installed, go ahead.
