Ok, trying your exact test, I get EXDEV... so I agree with the above. 
Any guesses *what*, though? (I don't have that volume information toy 
:-(...)

...it might even be something stupid like if I reboot the machine, it'll 
work again (it's a lab machine, it isn't rebooted often). I've noticed 
that I often have to unmount and remount drives before I can write to 
them (nothing to do with Cygwin, just an annoyance I've noticed that may 
be related).

Oh, well. Chalk it up to the computer being broken. Since it turns out I 
can build on a different machine, it's not important.

Thanks again for the help, sorry it's a dead end.
