I tried running strace to figure out what's going on, but that  
doesn't work since dmake.exe is a Windows executable.  I also tried  
running dmake like this:

   $ cmd /C "dmake flashimage"
   dmake .\trioimage.elf LINK_FILE=trioflashimage.ld  
BOOTING=BOOT_FROM_FLASH
   dmake:  Error -- \bin\bash: No such file or directory
   dmake:  Error code 255, while making 'flashimage'

As you can see, it fails in the exact same way.  Are there some  
Windows executables that just can't be run in a Cygwin ssh bash  
shell?  I could understand if a command didn't run at all under  
Cygwin/bash, but I just don't understand why it runs in a local  
Cygwin shell window but not in an ssh Cygwin shell window.

Alfred
