Hi Colomban,

I'm not knowledgeable about Windows/CygWin, but I have two wild guesses:
- the directory name contains non-ASCII characters ("é")
- the directory name contains a space
If it's anything like gnupg, it's likely the space (see the hardly
readable check in https://github.com/gpg/gnupg/blob/master/autogen.sh#L127)
You probably can work around this by either actually changing CygWin's
homedir, or just adjust $HOME to point to some directory without those
characters (e.g. HOME=/tmp/homedir, or anything less temporary yet still
without spaces).
HTH
