It's not necessary. Setup-${arch}.exe creates the default directory layout. > If a mounted /usr/share isn't important then why is > /usr/bin and /usr/lib automounted? Two reasons: - Windows. DLLs are found in the directory of the application even if $PATH doesn't point to the directory containing the DLL. cygwin1.dll and all other cygwin DLLs are in the same path as the essential binaries so that you can start them from Windows even if $PATH is not set to contain Cygwin's /bin. If we had separate /bin and /usr/bin dirs, we would have the essential binaries spread over two directories, but the cygwin DLLs in only one of them, or worse, spread over two dirs as well. Hilarity ensues. - GCC. GCC generates the path to certain files under the lib dir relative to the path it has been started from. So, if you run /bin/gcc, it searches for the files under /lib, if you start /usr/bin/gcc it searches under /usr/lib. Since you can do both, you have to handle lib just as bin. There was never a need to do that for any other directory, that's why we don't have /sbin <=3D> /usr/sbin as Fedora.
