Hello Falser,

This is in the mailing list archives from 22 March ... You might find
it interesting to take a look at that thread.

FK> I was able to solve the problem by forcing make to use always the shell when in windows mode.

Btw when posting a patch there is a good chance that it will be
noticed if it's not at the end f your message prepended with some xx
kilobytes of cygcheck output :)
