See > nt/INSTALL, which doesn't recommend MSYS for this very reason. I see this problem even without using MSYS. I am using TDM-GCC with gcc 4.5.2 and make 3.82 and GnuWin tools. Every so often my nightly build stalls and fails with an `Access denied' error. It looks like it spawns a child cmd.exe right before. I googled and someone said make might trip up during parallel compilation so I force it with `-j 1' for testing. It still fails now and then. I will capture the exact error message and the context next time it happens. Christoph
