Another data point--no such problem with XP-SP3 and Cygwin-1.7.7: $ls C:/cygwin-1_7/lib/X11/../libc.a C:/cygwin-1_7/lib/X11/../libc.a $ls C:/cygwin-1_7/lib/X11/..//libc.a C:/cygwin-1_7/lib/X11/..//libc.a $uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 earl 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58 i686 Cygwin -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
