I have updated to libQt5Core5-5.4.2-2, and I'm still getting this 
problem. Is anyone else able to reproduce this, or offer some insight as 
to why it might be failing? For completeness, my example programme is 
included below.

Dave.


// Programme to create a directory.
// Works with Qt4:
// g++ -I/usr/include/qt4 -o create_directory create_directory.cpp -lQtCore
//
// Fails with Qt5 if run from a path starting '/cygdrive/', otherwise OK:
// g++ -I/usr/include/qt5 -o create_directory create_directory.cpp 
-lQt5Core

#include <QtCore/QDir>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   if (argc != 2)
     std::cerr << "Syntax: create_directory <name>";
   else
   {
     QDir dir(QDir::currentPath());
     if (!dir.mkpath(argv[1]))
       std::cerr << "Failed to create directory '"
                 << argv[1] << "'." << std::endl;
   }
   return 0;
}
