I'm now trying it with asdf-install, and getting *exactly* the same
errors, depending on my --prefix.

Can someone who's managed to get ECL to actually work on Cygwin shed
some light on this?

It most certainly does exist, by the way:

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rpowell mkgroup-l-d 1254399 Aug  5 17:12 /usr/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas

With the windows style prefix, I instead get:

Filesystem error with pathname #P"SYS:cmp.NEWEST".
Either
 1) the file does not exist, or
 2) we are not allow to access the file, or
 3) the pathname points to a broken symbolic link.

As before.
