I haven't seen such a message, but I'm pretty sure I can guess what is
going on.

The environment variable TMP, TEMP or TMPDIR is set to "c:\temp" when for
cygwin it should be set to "/tmp". If you type e.g. "echo $TMP" you should
be able to find out which one it is, and change it with e.g.:

export TMP=/tmp

The patch should then work. To make this change permanent, add it to your
d:\cygwin\bin\cygwin.bat file.
