I estimate it as a very low priority bug in Perls Configure script. * It doesn't matter outside Cygwin. * It doesn't matter for a standard Cygwin installation. * It only matters for installations on a prefixed location in Cygwin. My bottomline: It is not worth to report it. It can be patched downstream in the special situation. But to make Perls setup more perfect ... who knows!
