No :-/
But I think I understood the problem. flexlink tries a lot of paths.
And if the file is not found, a cygpath conversion is tried before
a second search.
This cygpath conversion is done through a file redirection.

In my case fn is void, and cmd is… long.
String.length cmd gives 8406 ie > 8k
I'm pretty sure that I could have my app. compiled
by using a site-lib directory near the root of the filesystem.
