Now i know: in /etc/fstab i have the line: X:/some/svnrepository /svnX ntfs cygexec,noacl which works well when X: is there, but which produces the above message when i'm at home. End of the story? Not really: 1) perhaps the /usr/bin/ls message would deserve some improvement, by naming the failing folder (/svnX) 2) why is the build of cygserver impacted by something that takes place at the root directory (see "Trying implicit prerequisite '/version.cc'." in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-01/msg00294.html)? For item 2: Bingo! Perhaps unexpectedly, $(cygwin_source) is unknown within cygwin sources...
