[devkitARM] Windows shenanigans when passing -L to ld

2018-01-21T23:58:59.229000Z

Invocation:
${DEVKITARM}/bin/arm-none-eabi-ld -L path/to/library -T ld_script.ld -o foo.elf src/foo.o asm/crt0.s -lgcc -lc

Example line from ld_script.ld:
path/to/library/libc.a:memcpy.o(.text);

Result on OSX and Linux: ELF builds without error

Result on Windows (cygwin):

`memcpy' referenced in section `.text' of src/foo.o: defined in discarded section `.text' of path/to/library\libc.a(memcpy.o)

For whatever reason, ld appends an NT-style forward slash to the -L path even when the rest of the path exclusively uses backslashes. It is then unable to equate the resulting mixed path syntax with any equivalent path in the linker script.
