Thank you for following this up.  I also found another PC in which
Emacs that was built there has no problem (i.e., the boot-time
part does not appear in a lock file symlink name).
Both that PC [B] and the PC I normally use [A] run the latest Cygwin
3.5.3-1 on Windows 11 23H2.  Though I haven't found out the cause
of [A] yet, I should check the differences between them one by one.
