No. It should be F:\cygwin\abiword-0.9.5
(F:\cygwin is my Cygwin root)
The problem is a missing \ in path prefix. Anyway... You are right,
TRANSFORM_TO_DOS_PATH is the culprit. I spent some time in abi_defs.mk
and figured out that, only the conditional that finds string "cygdrive"
in $(ABI_ROOT) works fine for latest Cygwin (which is 1.3.5 as of now).
The one that checks for <space> in `uname -r` is not satisfied since,
it's for older Cygwin versions I guess, this version does not print any
white char in response.
The default (last) conditional is satisfied when $(ABI_ROOT) is under
Cygwin root, or when default cygdrive prefix is not "cygdrive" (oh, yes,
this was the first time I'd got trapped because my prefix was something
different, possible to change with mount -c). And, the path prefix set
by this part does not end in \\, so fails the build.

I can write a patch for that, but the purpose of middle sed command in
default (last) conditional is not clear to me, i.e.
sed 's| /| $(CYGWIN_ROOT)|g'
and I don't want to mess things up.
Also, I recommend replacing hard-coded "cygdrive" string with
$(shell mount -p)
