The critical difference there is that MSYS does automatic path translation between cygwin-style paths (/c/foo) and Windows-style paths (c:/foo). We used to support building under cygwin, and we had to do a mess of path translation in the build sytem. We no longer support building on cygwin primarily for this reason.
