Your cygcheck was hard to read, as it was not a plain-text attachment
(hmm, maybe we could update the problem-reporting instructions to tell
people to create cygcheck.txt instead of cygcheck.out, since there are
mailers out there that wrongly assume every file with an unknown extension
should be transferred with a mime type of application/octet-stream).

At any rate, in your cygcheck, you have the environment variable Path, not
PATH (in Windows, envvars are case insensitive, but not in Unix), so that
can cause problems. Also, you have an unexpanded variable in your path,
%HTC_PIC%. Furthermore, cygcheck couldn't even find make, with your path
settings, so I don't see how you were complaining about 2 competing
versions of make. But it very well could be that you did something weird
when trying to cleanup the Borland flavors of unix tools.

I'm not familiar with DOS promote. Is it some other vendor's shell? Does
it provide its own bash in your home directory, which could explain why
you get a different behavior depending on what directory you are in when
you try to run bash? Your cygcheck shows that you have . on the Windows
path prior to cygwin\bin.
