I don't understand that, it's certainly building OK for me at present.

Can you check that:

In expand.c line 688:

after the call to cygwin_conv_to_posix_path the variable "cygpath" should 
contain "/cygdrive/c/foo/bar"

and then in expand.c line 665:

the variable out->value should be "/cygdrive/c/foo/bar", and after the call 
to cygwin_conv_to_win32_path "result" should contain "c:\\foo\\bar".

John.
