Subject: Problem creating files in make
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I'm running cygwin-1.3.10 (0.51/3/2), bash 2.05a.0(3) and make 3.79.1.
I've replaces /bin/sh with bash.

GCC configure contains the following code:

# Make gthr-default.h if we have a thread file.
gthread_flags=
if test $thread_file != single; then
    rm -f gthr-default.h
    echo "#include \"gthr-${thread_file}.h\"" > gthr-default.h
    gthread_flags=-DHAVE_GTHR_D
fi


When I execute this under Cygwin, $thread_file is "posix" and the block
of code is being entered.  But gthr-default.h is not created.  An "ls"
after the "echo" will execute, but show no file created.

There are several things which I can do which will cause the file to
be created.  The simplest is to comment out the "rm".   Alternately,
creating a file before and/or after the "echo" will preserve the file.

Any idea what is causing this or how to fix it?
