This sounds like /bin/sh is missing.  If not that, I don't know what
it would be.  The fact that it's mixing long and short names
in the same path looks strange, though.

I only got dejagnu working under NT a few days ago.  My changes
are checked in, so they might be in the next snapshot.  I fixed
a lot of bugs that caused timeouts, access violations, and
resource leaks.  Not all the changes were in cygwin; some were
in expect.

Setting the DEJAGNU variable tells dejagnu where your site-specific
configuration is.  There is a cygwin-specific site.exp, but
all it does is disable some of the gdb tests that aren't supported
yet.  Otherwise, the default "unix" configuration works.
Dejagnu should come with a sample site.exp that should work
OK as long as it has that default case in it.
