Not quite true. If tooldir=/usr, then ${tooldir}/../lib/w32api resolves
to /lib/w32api. If tooldir=/usr/$target, then ${tooldir}/../lib/w32api
resolves to /usr/lib/w32api. As long as the /usr/lib mount is in order,
it should work in both cases, no?
FWIW, I don't know what (if anything) has changed... I've used "gcc
-mno-cygwin" recently with no problems. What exactly needs to be done to
reproduce the problem?
