Please don't use x:/path/ style unless you also specify --srcdir option.
Treat this like Unix, and you'll get much further.

 $ CONFIG_SHELL=bash bash //c/egcs/egcs-1.1.2/configure \
   --target=powerpc-motorola --with-multilibs

The reason bash is getting confused is simple -- it tries to deduce the 
source directory from the argv[0], and getting confused with ':' in the
pathname. Ideally it shouldn't, but it does and until someone fixes it,
it'll remain that way.

text will do just fine, and it has the side benefit of not annoying people.
