No idea about that. It only fails with Cygwin GCC though.

Also, under msvc there's a change in the output:

- symlinks supported       : no  (cached) :
- junctions supported      : yes (cached) :
- hardlinks supported      : yes (cached) :

The second : was not there before. No idea where it comes from or what's the 
significance.
