Actually my question is more about interoperability bewteen mingw and
cygwin.
For instance here is the working command line I am using :

arm-none-symbianelf-gcc -o conftest ...
c:/gynoid/sdks/symbian/Nokia_N97_SDK_v0.5/epoc32/release/armv5/urel/eexe.lib

If I replace c:/gynoid by /c/gynoid or even by /cygdrive/c/gynoid it
doesn't work because I suppose toolchain only
understand windows path c:/... :

arm-none-symbianelf-gcc -o conftest ...
/c/gynoid/sdks/symbian/Nokia_N97_SDK_v0.5/epoc32/release/armv5/urel/eexe.lib
arm-none-symbianelf-gcc.exe:
/c/cygdrive/gynoid/sdks/symbian/Nokia_N97_SDK_v0.5/epoc32/release/armv5/urel/eexe.lib:
No such file or directory

arm-none-symbianelf-gcc -o conftest ...
/cygdrive/c/gynoid/sdks/symbian/Nokia_N97_SDK_v0.5/epoc32/release/armv5/urel/eexe.lib
arm-none-symbianelf-gcc.exe:
/cygdrive/c/gynoid/sdks/symbian/Nokia_N97_SDK_v0.5/epoc32/release/armv5/urel/eexe.lib:
No such file or directory


Is it possible to make this toolchain works with cygwin path style ?
