remember my cygpath patch for -S? I'd actually requested the directory a
second time to get the right orthography.

Windows is really a crap.

It does. Couldn't you just ignore the settings for check_case loading the
DLL's in GDB? It seems, that the problems only arises when simulating
Windows internal file operations. Windows does not take care of the case
anyway, so why should Cygwin? The check_case is "just" for ported Unix apps
that do not know of this Windows internal behaviour. They may only use the
functionality (loading a depending DLL) as service out-of-the-box, GDB is
therefore just an exception.

Regards,
Jorg
