Sorry, I actually meant -V (that's capital, not little... I always use 
big-V and so didn't realize there even was a little-v that is different 
from big-V), although it's interesting that the "funky" one does indeed 
claim to be "built for cygwin...". When you are able to check the -V 
output, it would be interesting to compare what machine each was built 
on. If they are different that likely indicates either a change of 
packager or a rogue package. At the least it would mean that the build 
environment has changed, which may be part of the problem.
