Both / and /cygdrive/c are correct in this case.
The root directory for cygwin is the parent directory of the
directory where cygwin1.dll is located.

If cygwin1.dll is located in c:\tmp, the root directory for
cygwin is c:\. Therefore, / is correct answer for cygpath -u 'c:\'.

This is the same with the fact that
c:\cygwin64\bin\cygpath.exe -u "c:\cygwin64"
returns / rather than /cygdrive/c/cygwin64.

In this case, the root directory for cygwin is c:\tmp.
Therefore, c:\ is outside of the cygwin directories.
So, cygpath -u 'c:\' returns /cygdrive/c.
