Hello Paul,
hello Allan,
thanks to your input I was sure that the problem had to be found in my
specific configuration and so I looked around and found it:
I had installed cygwin into the windows program folder and symlinked the
folder to C:\cygwin64. This seems to have caused problems, because
deleting the symlink and moving the folder to C:\cygwin64 directly
resolved the issue. Now ./configure runs until it fails to find libtool,
which I consider a success.
I can provide the /bin/bash -x ./configure log file upon request.
Thank you!
Philipp

It should work with your Bash. The fact that it fails with both your
Bash, and with recent zsh, suggest a configuration problem of some sort
(not a problem with your shells per se). You can try debugging it by
using 'bash -x configure', or by putting 'set -x' into 'configure' just
before the place you think is causing the problem.
