Would you please first look into the patch file that is attached to my
mail from 0:29am? Those patches have allowed to build everything in one
go. The patch of winsup/cygwin/Makefile.in result in a cvs conflict in
the meantime but that is easy to solve.

Umm, I don't know. I'm happy for today to have the cross build working
anyway.

It is a syntax error in bash which is the default /bin/sh on my linux
system. I'm sure to be not alone with that so I would prefer to change
the Makefile.in to be bash aware instead of forcing ash as /bin/sh.

I don't know yet. I will try it again tomorrow to see what's going on.
