Hmm. If you didn't say you already started with a fresh clone, I would
have suspected https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/180511 to be
missing/the cause of the problem.
At least that would match the works the first time, but not subsequent
times (after rerunning of autogen.sh is triggered by make and not
manually)

So please double-check the status of the <module>/Makefile files in
the checkout. If there's confusion about builddir vs srcdir because of
short forms of paths being different than what was used when running
the initial configure, autogen.sh would replace the makefiles in the
srcdir (while it is only supposed to create copies in a separate
builddir)

The fix is only addressing the wsl-as-helper case, since at least my
version of cygwin was unaffected, cygwin-perl's realpath would have
rewritten a shortened path to the long form – but maybe that
assumption is wrong and it needs the same fix.

yeah, that's a workaround at best...
