Ok, I finally had a chance to look into this one. Finding the problem 
was easy, but I don't know the proper solution. The problem seems to be 
that Module::Build call cwd() with the object syntax which passes self 
as an argument. In the perl sources (cygwin/cygwin.c), the builtin cwd 
does this check:

   if(items != 0)
     Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Usage: Cwd::cwd()");

and fails on Cygwin because apparently Cygwin is the only OS that 
performs this check. What is the proper way to fix this? Is there a way 
Module::Build could work around this problem?
