While doing a FRESH install of 32-bit cygwin on (64-bit) Windows
Server 2012, setup returns error 1 from base-files-mketc.sh (from
base-files package).

the relevant lines from base-files-mketc.sh are as follow:
:
>> FILES="hosts protocols services networks"
>> OSNAME="$(/usr/bin/uname -s)"
>> WINETC="$(/usr/bin/cygpath -S -u)/drivers/etc"

>> echo "If directory name is garbage you need to update your cygwin package"
>> >&2
>> exit 1
>> fi
>>
>> for mketc in ${FILES}
:
For 32-bit cygwin and 64-bit Windows, the code assigns
/cygdrive/C/Windows/SysWOW64/drivers/etc to WINETC but it doesn't
exist on my machine. I could have recreated it (and the files
underneath) and then rerun the script - but I doubt if the OS uses
this path. What is recognized and used is
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc.
Any help is appreciated.
