Hello list,

I created a bug (1162) for that, as I had exactly the same issue and
don't know either how to have a satisfactory solution.

	I just updated cygwin today and found that when I typed this:
	
	> nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools
	
	it failed with the following error messages:
	
	Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 6.00.9782.0
	Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998. All rights reserved.
	
	: command not foundh: line 2:
	: command not foundh: line 4:
	'ools/win32-setup.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token
`{
	'ools/win32- setup.sh: line 5: `err_exit () {
	NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'bash' : return code '0x2'
	Stop.
	
	I used the cygwin setup utility to reinstall the previous
version of bash and then it worked again.
	
	The new version that breaks it is BASH_VERSION='
3.1.17(9)-release'. The cygwin package is bash-3.1.9.tar-bz2.
	
	The previous version that works for me is
BASH_VERSION='3.1.17(6)-release'. The cygwin package is
bash-3.1.6.tar.bz2.
	
	Maybe I can save somebody else the hassle of tracking this down.

	
	Now as to why it breaks -- I don't know and don't care to pursue
it...
