This is definitely true for W95.  For NT, where B19 wanted bash.exe installed
as /bin/sh.exe, B20 wants ash (sh.exe), as others have noted.  I've wasted a
few hours on this too.

Yep, I see the same problem, replacing sh.exe with b19 sh.exe (but
using cygwin1.dll as cygwinb19.dll) does not fix the problem, but
using the real cygwinb19.dll does work.  I can only conclude the bug
is in the dll.

Interestingly, if you use bash.exe as sh.exe, the error happens a little
bit earlier.

b20: BUG sh configure makes a mess (win98)

[creative1]

Hi there!

I am trying to compile several programs and i arrived to the conclusion
that configure
doesn't work properly on b20.

I ALWAYS get a mess, and the resulting config.h is full of #undef when
it shouldn't.
I have check several things and most of the 'if test' doesn't work as
they should.
the grep program should return 1 or 0 and sometimes it doesn't return
anything on the configure,
which make it think there is not such thing.

After several assignation on the configure, it seems that it does not
assign any more, things like...
whatever = `echo blalbla`
in a bucle, works for 20 times, and then after several times in the
loop, it stop working and
whatever gets = nothing.

the last one... trying to compile ircu2.10.04
it just stay for 20 minutes in setup.h  doing nothing so i have to
control C

creating setup.h

[main] J:\BIN\SH.EXE 2468 (0) sync_with_child: child -3860423(0x334)
died before
 initialization with status code 0xFFFFFFFF
[main] SH 2468 (0) sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
./config.status: Cannot fork
