You are still missing the point.

mount is also a cygwin emulation and does not work outside cygwin world.

If you mean c:\usr\local\gvd, then say what you mean.

However, it sounds like using the prebuilt binary from the libre site would
be more suitable for you, since the dependency on the NT psapi dll has been
removed from GVD.
