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!
