Putting GOPATH (or any environment variable) on a separate drive in Windows

I have a drive that I use for non-executable stuff, and I set %GOPATH% to point to a directory on that drive (D:\go\path). However, I can't simply type 

cd %GOPATH%

from the C:\ drive and navigate there. I need to type 

cd /c d:\go\path

Will the go linker/compiler/assembler/other stuff still function the same way?

This behavior on the command line is solely cd's fault. If you would write out the whole gopath string, you would get exactly the same behaviour. As go does (have to) make the drive/folder distinction on it's own while processing the path, everything will work just fine.
