Maybe use 'proc/cygdrive' instead of 'cygdrive'?That's how I originally had it. Unfortunately, test ltp/symlink01 relies on the test directory being specified as a canonicalized pathname (i.e. is the same after realpath()).Since there's no /etc/fstab in the the filesystem relative to the test DLL, I think it should always be using the default cygdrive prefix?
But there's a mkdir command that seems to be run in the context of the user running 'make check'. If the cygdrive prefix is not 'cygdrive', 'make check' fails as follows:
ERROR: tcl error sourcing /home/kbrown/src/cygdll/newlib-cygwin/winsup/testsuite/winsup.api/winsup.exp.
ERROR: can't create directory "/cygdrive": permission denied

"file mkdir $tmpdir/$base"
