Wow! :) I know 0 about msys.

Yes, I only noticed the issue when the topic was erroneously not following 
linked dependencies before, so I added an explicit test for it. So, that 
test could also just be removed, but as it's still testing an otherwise 
untested case (a target without linked dependencies) I'll change the test as 
described.

Thanks,
