this is a known bug in b20.1, and it was fixed ~ year ago. perhaps you
can  say  what  kind  of  problems have you encountered when compiling
scilab  with  1.1.2?

otoh,   you   can  _compile_  your  application  with  b20.1  and  use
cygwin1.dll  from  1.1.2  at run time -- that'll make "% in filenames"
problem to go away.
