I've narrowed this down a little bit. It only happens under zsh; under bash, the recipe works without error. Thinkging that for some reason, stdin was being opened in a text mode, I tried setting CYGWIN=binmode before starting zsh, but that had no effect on this problem. I believe the upgrade that broke this was the most recent gettext/libintl upgrade. In order to link against the most recent libintl, I have rebuilt zsh from source (both from the cygwin source tarball and also from the latest zsh sources in CVS), but still the problem persists. I would appreciate any help that can be offered.
