Description

cd _boot && C:\ocamlmgw64\bin\ocamlopt.opt.exe -o ..\dune.exe -g -I +threads unix.cmxa threads.cmxa -no-alias-deps -w -49 fcntl_stubs.c -args mods_list
/bin/bash: C:UsersDRAAppDataLocalTemplongcmd7285c9: No such file or directory

Placeholder to check when I have more time, but changing TEMP to C:/Users/DRA/AppData/Local/Temp "fixed" the problem

Research direction

The issue names no file or test. Start by tracing how flexlink handles %TEMP% before passing the command to bash, using the shown Windows path as the reproduction. Done means the path is cygpath-converted and the command no longer reports a missing C:Users... directory.
