Heh. That's a very common minor bug in automake-based makefiles that has no
consequences on Linux, but fails nastily on Windows. The POSIX spec says that
"//" at the beginning of a file path can be reserved for special meanings by
the system; Linux doesn't take advantage of this leeway, and just treats it as
a null path component, but on Cygwin it was the ideal place to add support for
windows-style UNC paths.
The bug will be because they've written "$(DESTDIR)/$(prefix)" somewhere in
a makefile; there shouldn't be a separator, destdir should always have a
trailing one when non-empty, and the construct should just be written
"$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)".

That's really peculiar. Something may have gone bizarrely wrong during the
build. Do you have a log file? If so, upload it to pastebin.org or somewhere
like that, post the URL to the list and I'll take a look and see if I can spot
anything unusual.
