It seems that you haven't RTFM.

http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/readme.html:

Programs can't deal with // pathname scheme in arguments

  gcc and other tools aren't fully compatible with the current pathname
  scheme: it can't grok an argument of -I//d/foo
  which means it is vital that when attempting to self-host, that only
  normal paths with single slashes are used. 

See the FAQ section "How can I get at other disks?" for use of the
mount command that lets you avoid the double /.
