gg_libdir was converted to an absolute Windows path as a remnant of logic to check for relative / absolute location of libraries, but that does not work on Cygwin. Converting gg_libdir to a Windows path has the nasty side-effect that it cannot be prefixed with $DESTDIR, and this precludes installing to a staging directory. So, don't convert it.
