Running Cygwin setup 2.912 with --symlink-type native (or
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native) is not correctly translating all symlinks.
A default install has these faulty ones:
/etc/pki/tls/cert.pem ->
\??\/etc\pki\ca-trust\extracted\pem\tls-ca-bundle.pem
/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt ->

Thanks for reporting this.
Yes, it seems this is messed up where the target of the symlink is an
absolute path.
I've uploaded setup 2.913 with an attempted fix.
https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.913.x86_64.exe
https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.913.x86.exe
Please try that (you'll have to reinstall the effected packages), and see
if it improves things for you?
Thank you! This fixes it for the Cygwin side, although the symlinks are still
technically not right from the Windows side. They're still showing up prefixed
\??\.
It's an age since I mucked around with those functions - IIRC the API function
for writing them adds the \??\ itself and doesn't expect it to have been
supplied? However, when you read the reparse point you have to remember to
remove it yourself because who needs consistency :o)
Thanks for testing. It seems I still didn't have this quite right and
these symlinks just happened to work for cygwin, but not native tools.
Please try
