If the configury supports d:/foo/bar file names (and most modern
versions of Autoconf and libtool do), then using MSYS /d/foo/bar style
of file names is not necessary. Only of d:/foo fails, you should fall
back on the MSYS style.

Yes, sounds like that. It would be good if GDB could reconfigure its
prefix on the fly, though.
