On cygwin they come out as LNK files. Emacs tries to load such LNK file and fails. I had to remove these files to be able to edit orgmode elisp files. Perhaps there is a way to make emacs on cygwin interpret LNK as links, then it should be mentioned in the installation instructions. Otherwise (and I think better), the build process could copy .dir-locals.el from the master dir to the slave dirs
