I haven't double-checked, but the build cannot have got this far if the file were really missing.

Yeah, our build system is not terribly hygienic when it comes to mixing forward and backslashes in the Windows builds (the Windows shell of course is mostly forgiving of the mixture).

It's not immediately clear to me from the announcement whether this change in behaviour is a regression or an intentional change? Only asking in terms of how quickly we need to make OCaml's build system cleaner.

It's worth noting in this instance that x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc would be being invoked by a non-Cygwin executable here (i.e. which IIRC is slightly different path normalisation than when it's invoked from bash).
