Building Valhalla/JDK9 on Windows

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Stephen,

maybe a dump question, but if you do 'dir
c:/Users/stephen/.babun/cygwin/e/dev/valhalla/jdk9/common/src/fixpath.c'
in your cygwin shell, does it work?

You could also run configure with the '--debug-configure' option.
Maybe you get some more hints?
