I estimate it as a very low priority bug in Perls Configure script.
* It doesn't matter outside Cygwin.
* It doesn't matter for a standard Cygwin installation.
* It only matters for installations on a prefixed location in Cygwin.
My bottomline:
It is not worth to report it. It can be patched downstream in the
special situation.
But to make Perls setup more perfect ... who knows!
