This happens often in bootstrapping Emacs on Cygwin! My experience is that it does not depend on GCC version. Some time changing the build directory helps. For exaple, instead of /tmp/emacs/build one can tries /tmp/tmp1/tmp2/.../emacs/build Other times, bootstrapping from an X-shell (xterm, urxvt) instead that from the DOS-like shell (cygwin.bat), helps. Obviously also updating CVS source helps! For example, I am currently observing this: building Emacs with window.c, cus-start.el dated Sep. 7 works fine from all Cygwin shells, starting emacs 'emacs -nw'. But using the current version of those files gives Fatal error (6)/bin/sh: ... Aborted ... starting emacs -nw from the DOS-like shell. The fact is that the cited version of window.c differ only in spaces (a different style of formatting the text) while cus-start.el are IDENTICAL! This is the life of Emacs on Cygwin! Angelo.
