Sigh. Yes, that is the case. Ok, so "strace" won't help me. Is there any
other information I can gather on this situation? It just will not run from
within Make, no matter how I coerce it. It always fails immediately with
"Invalid Argument", even before getting to "main".

strace only works on programs which use the cygwin DLL. IIRC, the
program that you are attempting to execute is not a cygwin program.
