Parrot's Config.pl fails during Check Manifest looking for t/tools/install/testlib/phony.exe after untarring Rakudo Star under cygwin and doing a 'perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot'. It turns out that if one creates a tar file with both phony and phony.exe in the same directory under *nix and then unpacks it under cygwin, the file with the .exe file gets removed. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-09/msg00326.html for some documentation on the Cygwin issue. The file isn't a real executable and doesn't do much, so copying t/tools/install/testlib/phony to t/tools/install/testlib/phony.exe effectively got me around the problem. Since the error is caused by untarring Rakudo Star I don't see it so much as a Parrot problem and think it might be better fixed on the Rakudo side. I hope to soon propose a small patch through github to fix it. Thanks, Ron
