Perhaps the problem is whether strace likes cygwin paths, or wants
Windoze paths:
506 $ touch ~/.xemacs/strace.out
507 $ strace --output=~/.xemacs/strace.out "xemacs -debug-init
-debug-paths 2>~/.xemacs/startup.log"
strace.exe: can't open ~/.xemacs/strace.out: No such file or directory
508 $ strace "xemacs -debug-init -debug-paths 2>~/.xemacs/startup.log"
strace.exe: error creating process xemacs -debug-init -debug-paths
2>~/.xemacs/startup.log, (error 2)

Nope. The problem is a cockpit error.

As on UNIX, "~" is expanded by the shell but only when it begins a word.
Shells don't expand things that are preceded by an '='.

You are telling strace to run a program called:
"xemacs -debug-init -debug-paths 2>~/.xemacs/startup.log"
Don't quote the arguments to strace. strace doesn't start a shell
to interpret things like 2> or "~".
