I was compiling the cygwin DLL from the latest src package 1.7.9-1 following FAQ
6.18 as always.  After a lot of successful activity in the 'make' step, I see:
[...]

ar cru libbinmode.a binmode.o
ar cru libtextmode.a textmode.o
ar cru libtextreadmode.a textreadmode.o
perl -p -e 'BEGIN{binmode(STDIN); binmode(STDOUT);}; s/cygwin1/cygwin0/g' < libc
ygwin.a > libcygwin0.a

Line 38 of /oss/src/winsup/utils/mingw has:
newargs=()

As a workaround I changed that script's shebang line to #!/bin/bash from the
existing #!/bin/sh and re-ran make.  It ran to completion.  I'm not sure what
the real fix should be.
