I would prefer something like the following:
find /etc/setup -name '*.lst.gz' -maxdepth 1 | xargs gzip -d -c | \
grep -E "($Suffixes)\$" | sed -e '/cygwin1.dll$/d' -e 's/^/\//' \
>>"$TmpFile"
because it is more efficient than the above.
I will release a new version of rebase with this fix.
Thanks for the heads up.
