Does not happen on my box:

$ ls C:/cygwin/lib/X11/../libc.a
C:/cygwin/lib/X11/../libc.a

$ ls C:/cygwin/lib/X11/..//libc.a
C:/cygwin/lib/X11/..//libc.a

$ mount|fgrep lib
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 WITD-ORL-IBOBY1 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin
