Thanks, this is exactly the same problem I've seen just yesterday. <SNIP> > P.S. I am using gnu make 3.79.1-4 and 1.3.5-2 of the cygwin dll. Here: 3.79.1-5 and 1.3.9-1 respectively. After upgrading to 1.3.10-1 just yet, the problem persists. I'd say, this is a real candidate for a bug. Anyone else?
