I've actually had problem building Cygwin (1.7.35 or 2.x source) on
Cygwin 2.x using Windows.  The make errors out with a "permissions
denied" when setting permissions (chmod +x) on config.status in
<builddir>/etc.  I was able to produce it on three different, freshly
built copies of Windows (no BLODA at all).  Only had Cygwin plus the
build essentials (gcc, ming, xmlto, diffutils, textinfo, cocom)
installed.  Only tried with 32-bit.

The super wacky thing is that if I rearrange the unrelated contents of
the make file that fuels the whole process, the problem goes away.  If
I "downgrade" the core back to 1.7.35, the problem goes away.  It
almost seems like there might an uninitialized memory issue in the
code path executed in chmod().  I apologize for the lack of debugging
on my part, but I just wanted to throw this out there in case a) it
could be related to this issue or b) anyone else has seen this.

That said, I'm making progress in debugging my "Unknown Group" issue
described in another chain; hope to report out on that this weekend
when I have a little more time to play.
