Yes, it is annoying that when /tmp is not mounted, and / does not contain
a physical subdirectory named tmp, that bash refuses to start. I'll
consider ripping that out of bash, since it was an upstream chunk of code
protected by __CYGWIN__ (ie. someone in the distant past, before I was
maintainer, thought that such a cygwin-specific patch would be useful),
and replacing it with mkdir("/tmp") instead. Then the failure would only
be if /tmp cannot be created, rather than that it did not exist.
