That's because dosexec.c in the library sources now has the code to
support invocation of Windows programs with long command lines via
CMDLINE environment variable.  This change required an addition of
another argument to _dos_exec, so now the prototype in process.h and
in Bash disagree.

I guess Bash should incorporate the code which supports CMDLINE.
Unless this is done, you can't build Bash with CVS libc, because
library functions which call _dos_exec will crash due to mismatch in
the argument list.
