Thank you,

I found the explantion for the strip problem.

For the 'cp -f' problem I could not find an explanation.
May be the discussion on "Autoconf" was to much in
detail for an cygwin beginner like me.
As I understood it, there was/is a problem with utime
in relation with file access rights.
I don't see how this is related to the simple cp statement
with no access conflicts.

Try using google and searching the archives for .exe and related
commands you have problems with- the .exe thing
has been discussed a whole lot on this list. It might
even be in the documentation or FAQ-

FAQ:                   http://cygwin.com/faq/

It is me, again - I am missing a bit of concentration.
Some more remarks/results at the bottom.

After removing the f flag, the files were copied correctly.

But now the problems with the exe extensions moves on to the next
command "strip", which complains about not finding the appropriate files.
At moment I will change the makefile and hope someone has the knowledge
and time to work on the extension thing.

Good luck.

Thomas
