Native symlinks troubles


This simple example illustrate problem with using native symlinks.

$ export CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict

$ mkdir bld && mkdir source && touch source/srcfile && ln -s
../source/srcfile bld/bldfile

$ ls -l bld
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alexey None 10 Jun 17 08:29 bldfile -> ce/srcfile
                                                                            /\/\

Instead "source/srcfile" it resolved as "ce/srcfile"
This happen if I remove cygdrive folder from Cygwin root and add line
to /etc/fstab:
 none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,noacl,user 0 0


Regards,
Alexey.
