Errr...no.  The *latter* is the correct location (at least, that's where
the sysroot'ed compiler will look for them).

the (buggy) cygport(1) puts them in
   usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/
but we really want them to be in
   usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/
which is what your cygport(5) does -- when you actually use it to rebuild.

Oh, I did not know that; I figured "any old Ada would do".  OK...

Thanks for your hard work.
