How would that matter? cmd.exe has no idea how to follow a cygwin symlink,
so the actual executable isn't going to be invoked at all in the situation
described above.
OTOH, 'strace' does know how to follow a symlink (IIRTSC), and is hence
showing some other problem, so your rebase suggestion could still be valid.
