Yup, should have checked further earlier - missing *$* before {BB} in
postinstall/preremove alternatives script generation:

$ fgrep -C1 alternatives gnuplot-5.4.rc2-0.src/gnuplot-5.4.rc2-0.cygport
                    cat > ${PN}-${BB}.postinstall <<EOF
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/gnuplot gnuplot
/usr/bin/gnuplot-{BB}.exe ${APRIO}							<<<!!!
EOF
--
                    cat > ${PN}-${BB}.preremove <<EOF
/usr/sbin/alternatives --remove gnuplot /usr/bin/gnuplot-{BB}.exe	<<<!!!
EOF

Need a 5.4.0-2 soon!
