I ran into a bug with cygwin 1.3.10 when compiling the latest Classpath
with jikes 1.15b.  Basically, cygwin is unable to tell the difference
between java/net and java/nio in some cases, so it causes jikes to
compile .class files to the wrong directory.

The bug is detailed in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg01655.html.  It is dependent on
the absolute path of the build directory, so it will not appear for all
users; and in many cases, if you are bit by the bug, the simplest
workaround is renaming the build directory.  Or you can wait for the
next release of cygwin, when it will be patched, or check out the latest
CVS version of jikes where I added a hack to avoid this particular bug.
