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!
