It works just as I described in a reasonably recent version of MSYS2 (I
have version 20240113 installed) on a current version of Windows:

  $ cmd //c echo /home
  C:/msys64/home

  $ cmd /c echo /home
  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.3880]

  C:\msys64\home\nbowler>

Virtually identical behaviour is observed with a very old MSYS 1.0.8
installation on Windows 98:

  $ cmd //c echo /home
  D:/MSYS/1.0/home

  $ cmd /c echo /home
  Invalid switch
  Too many parameters
  Too many parameters
  Invalid switch
  Invalid switch
  Invalid switch
