Running Cygwin setup 2.912 with --symlink-type native (or

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?
