 Works for me too. I have changed the Win-x86_6-fast tinderbox to build in 
~/libreoffice , so this should not go unnoticed the next time.

 I wonder about the part about the length of the path. 
(c:/cygwin)/home/tinderbox/libreoffice is not that short, but the build has 
finished successfully, the resulting .msi installed without problems, and I 
didn't notice any problems when running it. Has that been fixed somehow as 
well?
