While you're at it, fix realpath(NULL, buf) to set buf[0]='\0', instead of
leaving garbage there.
Also, realpath("//..", buf) should be "//", not "/", since it is its own
root (there is no way to make // a subdirectory of /). And when pwd is
//, realpath("..", buf) is correctly "//", but realpath("../..", buf) is
mistakenly "/".
I also noticed that realpath("c:..", buf) now returns "c:", rather than
"/cygdrive" - I guess it comes down to the choice of whether cygwin has 2
roots or 28 roots. I prefer 2 roots (so that the parent directory of any
drive letter is the cygdrive prefix), but maybe I can be convinced that 28
is okay. But whatever the choice is, it should be consistent - right now
realpath("c:/..", buf) is failing with ENOENT, even though it should have
the same result as realpath("c:..", buf).
Also, readlink("linktofile/x", buf) is now failing (good), but with
ENOENT, instead of the proper ENOTDIR.
