The 1.7 strace shows a weird error message: seterrno_from_win_error: /ext/build/netrel/src/cygwin-1.7.0-44/winsup/cygwin/cygheap.cc:140 windows error 487 error 487 == "Attempt to access invalid address." It happens when trying to raise the size of the cygheap (used for internal datastructures like file descriptor data) which apparently occurs as a result of using so many files. The only reason I can think of why this might occur is a collision with a DLL loaded at an address not far from the end of Cygwin's cygheap, so that trying to VirtualAlloc more memory, to make the cygheap bigger, fails. The default size of the cygheap in 1.7.0-44 is ~900K and ends at 0x61300000. Maybe rebasing the DLLs makeinfo is linked against (cygiconv-2.dll, cygintl-8.dll) helps? If not, it might be helpful if you could send a link to a tar archive with all necessary input texi files to run makeinfo as above.
