snapshot compilation failure


Attempting to compile the latest snapshot, 
(by untaring cygwin-src-20030823.tar.bz2 and winsup-src-20030823.tar.bz2 in /, and creating /src as a symbolic link, 
creating /obj, /install, entering /obj, /src/configure --prefix=/install, then make.) 
The make fails with libm.a. Relevant messages are:

/bin/sh /src/winsup/cygwin/speclib /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libpthread.a "nm" "ar" /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libcygwin.a pthread.o thread.o 
/bin/sh /src/winsup/cygwin/speclib /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libm.a "nm" "ar" /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libcygwin.a /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/newlib/libm/libm.a 
/bin/sh /src/winsup/cygwin/speclib -v /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libc.a "nm" "ar" /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libcygwin.a /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libm.a libpthread.a 
nm: /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libm.a: File format not recognized 
nm: libpthread.a: File format not recognized 
speclib: couldn't find symbols for /obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libc.a 
make[2]: *** [/obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/libc.a] Error 1 
make[2]: Leaving directory `/obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin' 
make[1]: *** [cygwin] Error 1 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup' 
make: *** [all-target-winsup] Error 2 

Looking at libm.a, ar and nm refuse to recognise it, file says it is a current ar archive. it is 93360 bytes.
libpthread.a is also not recognised, other ".a" file are though.
