MPC fails to work with Cygwin and msys perl

[jwillemsen]

Probably we get a cygwin perl or some other version, as far as I remember we had issues in the past with that, see DOCGroup/ACE_TAO#392

[jwillemsen]

AppVeyor has now a regular perl which at least makes it possible to use AppVeyor with Visual Studio 2017 but the issue that MPC doesn't work with cygwin perl stays

I see also a strange issue on github action CI when /usr/bin/perl is used, that version is This is perl 5, version 36, subversion 0 (v5.36.0) built for x86_64-msys-thread-multi where the default in /bin is This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread. The workspace.mwc is correct, see attached

Invoked through brix11 (ruby helper scripts as part of taox11) I get
