As Eric Blake pointed out, there was a problem with /bin/sh.
I had run setup.exe about 4 or 5 days ago to update my installation.
Although it didn't produce any errors that I noticed, it did somehow
leave my system in
an inconsistent state. I re-ran setup.exe just now, and it installed
the latest coreutils,
and all my make code now works fine.
I don't know how my system got in an inconsistent state, but running cygcheck
before and after revealed the following diffs:
