Using real paths in ash


I really like the cygwin ash.exe, but I have a problem.  It tries to
replace C: with /cygdrive/c everywhere.  This actually breaks my
utilities, because they expect real Windows paths.  mkdir -p "$TEMP/t"
for example ends up creating
C:\cygdrive\c\DOCUME~1\NEWUSE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\t  ... which is
obviously not what I want.

Is there any way around this problem?

I am not subscribed to this list, please CC me any replies :)

Thank you.
