[7u]: ERROR: Trouble with the absolute path for OUTPUTDIR './bui, ld/windows-i586'". Stop.

Hi

Just cloning this repository http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u to a fresh 
new directory on a WXP/Cygwin platform with the following ALT_* variables

$ env | grep ALT
ALT_BOOTDIR=C:/Progra~1/Java/jdk1.7.0_40
ALT_SLASH_JAVA=C:/Progra~1/Java/jdk1.7.0_40
ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=C:/Progra~1/Java/jdk1.7.0_40
ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=C:/Cygwin/OpenJDK/freetype-2.4.7/include
ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=C:/Cygwin/OpenJDK/freetype-2.4.7/objs/win32/vc2010
ALT_DXSDK_PATH=C:/PROGRA~1/MI7482~1
FREETYPE2_LIB_PATH=C:/Cygwin/OpenJDK/freetype-2.4.7/objs/win32/vc2010

$ make sanity
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:559: *** "ERROR: Trouble with the absolute path 
for OUTPUTDIR './bui
ld/windows-i586'".  Stop.


My understanding is that there is no need to specify the ALT_OUTPUTDIR but it 
seems to be needed by make sanity.

Did I miss something?
