Re: BUG #3818: Cross compilation problems

Running make inside the msys shell, I get:

/c/misc/mingw/bin
c:/misc/mingw/bin
/c/misc/mingw/bin

running inside a plain DOS command window, I get:

/mingw/bin
c:/misc/mingw/bin
/mingw/bin

Msys/mingw have these funny 'system' mounts. However it looks like that
/pwd -W/ gives the most sensible output in both cases. Must be why it's
there.
