I guess that you are saying that make uses /etc/passwd when setting SHELL?
I checked on my system and I do have /etc/passwd and /etc/group so I guess I must have run them (it's along time since I installed cygwin).
However, I did try renamimg them, starting a new cygwin shell and running make, and SHELL was still set to /bin/sh.exe

Not as far as I am aware. I certainly didn't on my system. What effect does/should this have?
