Nobody here knows what the contents of bldmake is. As David pointed out 
a simply execution of cmd /c works fine. So the question is what is 
bldmake. It seems to be attempting to re-execute itself down some path 
on the E drive and as David also pointed out, probably trips up on 
Cygwin in the path somewhere. Take "bldmake" apart and put some echo 
statements in there to isolate where the problem really is.

For all we know bldmake could be bldmake.bat which contains a line such as:

sh E:\Symbian\M04765_Symbain_OS_V9.5\bin\Tech\Viewepoc32\tools\bldmake.bat

Intending to use Symbian's version of "sh" which can handle backslashes 
but due to how your PATH is setup it's using Cygwin's version of "sh" 
which doesn't like the backslashes. I'm not saying that's exactly what's 
going on, I'm saying that we don't know given your description so far.
