 This is pretty strange. Looking at configure code (you can easily find the
relevant place by searching for the error message), NONE is explicitly
handled for exec_prefix. Could there be a stray space in it somehow?

 What is /mnt/d? The DOS drives are usually accessed as /cygdrive/d under
Cygwin.

 But it should point to a directory... I really don't understand what are
you trying to do.
