I guess that's because Z:/... is a relative path on Unix (as opposed
to Windows).

Use a proper cygwin path, e.g.

/cygdrive/z/DEV/OpenJDK_7u40/hotspot/make/windows/makefiles

I typically do it like this: only use Unix style paths in scripts.  If
I invoke a Windows command I convert necessary paths with "cygpath -a
{path}".  I even have a script somewhere which looks at command line
arguments and converts them on the fly if it thinks it's a path (the
heuristic I use is that I test the path for existence and if that
fails I use dirname of the path and test it for existing directory).

Kind regards

robert
