Heh, so I may be the first person in the world who have done that ? :-)

The conversion from unix-style /cygdrive/c/paths to /c/paths when
handing the paths to native tools does a simple search and replace. Any
cygwin paths which don't conform to /cygdrive/X are all horribly mangled
by the to and from process, so /home and /tmp don't work :-(

Indeed, the problem was with substrings, see comments in:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8fd5ba3749aa740b3c060db775b42f15a5ce50a7
The problem should be solved for $(SRCDIR), I am not sure how we use /tmp.

Anyway with this patch I was able to build in /home, install and also
write some text in Draw.
Hopefully it will work also for others (for all ?).

Could someone, please, try ?
I think we could remove new warning from

Best,
Matus
