No, it's probably fine. But one of the things that building Jam does is try
and regenerate that file. Which leads me to think that somehow the Win FS
mount is not letting you do things like create directories, and possibly
changing the permissions on files -- and changing permissions is something Jam
does for most of the files it builds.
