Ah - ok :-) thanks for that. Clearly I missed the memo. Having said
that - I also thought that it was necessary to keep the path as short as
humanly possible to avoid other fixed-sized command-line / buffer limit
issues as well :-) Such that:
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/opt/lo/core
starts to be a bit long too ? :-)

If this is the case, should we not check & enforce that inside
configure.ac for windows ? also - it worked for me until rather
recently, so I've no idea what changed :-)
Re-testing running configure from the above path.
Thanks !
