This is news to me and not mentioned o= n > nt/INSTALL. Appears to on my system. Discovery of external shell tools for various=20 packages I guess. Anyway, it was the msys patch and Eli's no doubt right with "do not use=20 msys" - it seems to have its own not-cygwin not-windows take on path=20 mangling among other things. For the record, bearing in mind I'm going to be taking msys out of the=20 loop next attempt: Files hanging with a "msys\1.0\bin\patch -z. b" process during build lisp/hilit-chg.el vc/ediff-diff.el vc/ediff-merg.el vc/ediff-mult.el vc/ediff-ptch.el vc/ediff-util.el vc/ediff.el Files where something segfaults, but I didn't catch what. However,=20 eshell was probably trying to find external unix command line tools and=20 would have found bits of msys, and tramp was probably trying to find=20 stuff like rsh, ssh etc. and again would have found bits of msys: lisp/net/tramp-cmds.el lisp/net/tramp-fish.el lisp/net/tramp-ftp.el lisp/net/tramp-gvfs.el lisp/net/tramp-gw.el lisp/net/tramp-imap.el lisp/net/tramp-smb.el lisp/eshell/em-alias.el lisp/eshell/em-banner.el lisp/eshell/em-basic.el lisp/eshell/em-cmpl.el lisp/eshell/em-dirs.el lisp/eshell/em-glob.el lisp/eshell/em-hist.el lisp/eshell/em-ls.el lisp/eshell/em-pred.el lisp/eshell/em-prompt.el lisp/eshell/em-rebind.el lisp/eshell/em-script.el lisp/eshell/em-smart.el lisp/eshell/em-term.el lisp/eshell/em-unix.el lisp/eshell/em-extra.el lisp/eshell/esh-arg.el lisp/eshell/esh-cmd.el lisp/eshell/esh-ext.el lisp/eshell/esh-io.el lisp/eshell/esh-mode.el lisp/eshell/esh-module.el lisp/eshell/esh-opt.el lisp/eshell/esh-proc.el lisp/eshell/esh-test.el lisp/eshell/esh-util.el lisp/eshell/esh-var.el lisp/eshell/eshell.el
