Chris,
He is not trying to test something.  The
/tmp/xxxxx.base files are generated during X lib DLLs
creation. The ld is trying to read /tmp\xxxx.base
which on bash returns /tmpxxxxx.base, therefore
he gets "no such file" error.

With my Cygwin setup I have not seen this problem,
although I do have TEMP, TMP and TEMPDIR in my ENV

TEMP=G:\Temp
TMP=G:\Temp
TMPDIR=/tmp
