  So, you are lumbered with some massive mish-mash of complex build scripts,
ANT, java, mixture of cygwin and native executables and god knows what else,
and somewhere down in the middle of it something's invoking what it probably
expects to be a win32 program and getting the cygwin version, or vice-versa.
Ouch.  You're going to have to figure out what's going on way down in the
internals and try and extract a simple testcase.

    cheers,
