Hi Bruno,
Unfortunately, fixing the cygdrive bug has made things worse from the
point of view of emacs, at least on my system. Namely, I can't even
build emacs. The build produces warnings like the following and
ultimately fails:
Warning (unlock-file): Unlocking file: Invalid argument,

Yes, this is reasonable, since we already determined that our

Thanks for the confirmation.

It looks like gnulib-tool.py never cleaned up temporary directories
for modes other than the --import, --create-testdir, and related.
Since the --extract-* functions seem less used, hopefully this hasn't

$ rm -rf /tmp/glpy*
$ ./test-all.sh
