Creating links with the same name, but with and without a .exe extension
succeeds, but the one with no extension is later ignored. Here's a
minimal example:
$ ls -l TESTLINK*
ls: TESTLINK*: No such file or directory
$ ln -s /bin/ls.exe TESTLINK
$ ls -l TESTLINK*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 igor root 11 Feb 3 09:25 TESTLINK -> /bin/ls.exe
$ ln -s /bin/echo.exe TESTLINK.exe
$ ls -l TESTLINK*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 igor root 13 Feb 3 09:25 TESTLINK -> /bin/echo.exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 igor root 13 Feb 3 09:25 TESTLINK.exe -> /bin/echo.exe
$ uname -svr
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.20(0.152/4/2) 2006-01-31 21:09
$ cygcheck -f /bin/ln
coreutils-5.3.0-9
$
Let me know if more detail is needed to reproduce this, and I'll attach
the cygcheck output, or an strace if needed.
