If you set SYSROOT to something other than the root directory, then
see my other mail in this thread (it is supposed to not work).

But if you set SYSROOT=C:, then it *should* work (it does for me with
the stock bash.exe).  Please run Bash under a debugger and see what
function fails for /dev/null.  (A good beginning would be to set a
breakpoint in a function that reports the error, and then dsiplay the
stack to see where did the error originate.)
