The config.guess of libtool-1.3.4 is recent enough for cygwin. The problem that is fixed by my patch is as follows: bash-distribution uses an old config.guess which creates results like: i686-pc-cygwin32 and then later checks for *cygwin32 in the configure script. recent versions of config.guess return i686-pc-cygwin (!! no 32 at the end !!) and, as a result, configure does not react correctly and a bash build on base of this configure stackdumps. This behaviour is reproduceable with either the original bash-2.04.tar.gz or the bash-2.0.4-src.tar.gz in the LATEST directory on sourceware. Greetings, Michael Ring
