Subject: Can't create symbolic links in child directories
Message-ID: <0b6a3052-7a9b-2bee-4f8d-196a025de953@gmail.com>

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.8.0
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This works:

 > touch a
 > ln -s a b

This no longer works:

 > touch a
 > mkdir b
 > ln -s a b/c

Error:

ln: failed to create symbolic link 'b/c': No such file or directory

My CYGWIN environment is also configured using "winsymlinks:nativestrict".

I am running the following version (updated today):

CYGWIN_NT-10.0-WOW WORKSTATION 3.0.5(0.338/5/3) 2019-03-31 11:22 i686 Cygwin

I cannot confirm at which point this bug appeared as I updated from some 
version prior to 3.0. I am reasonably certain that this has worked 
before as I use symbolic links often.
