Re: strange cygwin effect

I noticed a strange effect when using ecos with cygwin: suddenly
my "/cygdrive/d/" appears as "/ecos-d/", which is entered in the
registry as a cygwin mountpoint. Any idea why this happens ?

This behaviour was implemented within the eCos hosts tools years ago to ensure that the source code was always accessed via a Cygwin text-mode mount during compilation. This was necessary due to a limitation of the toolchains of that era. The use of text-mode mounts should no longer be strictly necessary and, at some point, this behaviour will be removed.
