mingw64 can not handle string starting with '/'

mingw64 seems can not handle string starting with '/' on command line.

I tried to execute command
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey ... -subj '/C=...' on mingw64,
but I got error like this.

MSYS seems to translate the heading character '/' to mingw path.
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion

So, command arguments like this

-subj '/C=JP/ST=Tokyo/O=TEST_DUMMY_COMPANY/CN=testCA.test_dummy.com/'

is converted to

-subj C:/msys/1.0/C=JP/ST=Tokyo/O=TEST_DUMMY_COMPANY/CN=testCA.test_dummy.com/
