Subject: shift: can't shift that many
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I've successfully built a cygwin version of XEmacs 21.2.34

however, during make install, I get lots of msgs from bash related
to the shift built-in - as in the subject:

shift: can't shift that many

e.g.:

shift: can't shift that many
/usr/bin/install -c lib-src/make-path.exe /usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.2-b34/i686-pc-cygwin/make-path.exe
shift: can't shift that many
/usr/bin/install -c lib-src/wakeup.exe /usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.2-b34/i686-pc-cygwin/wakeup.exe
shift: can't shift that many
/usr/bin/install -c lib-src/profile.exe /usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.2-b34/i686-pc-cygwin/profile.exe
shift: can't shift that many
/usr/bin/install -c lib-src/make-docfile.exe /usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.2-b34/i686-pc-cygwin/make-docfile.exe
shift: can't shift that many
/usr/bin/install -c lib-src/digest-doc.exe /usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.2-b34/i686-pc-cygwin/digest-doc.exe
shift: can't shift that many

and the installation is incomplete

I tried things like echoing $# in the makefile, but didn't make
much headway in figuring out where the problem might lie.

Has anyone else run into this sort of thing?  Is it bash, cygwin,
or the XEmacs build process?  I suspect cygwin just because I've
never run into this on other platforms, but it's difficult to tell.

thanks..
