Hmm, what seems to be the problem here - and even more important - how to fix it?
I came across this problem a long time ago. Unfortunately I have no recollection of how I fixed it (it may have something to do with 'sh' or it may not - I know that this is not very helpful). Frank/Peter may have records of our discussions on that problem and how I reported that it was fixed - if they don't then sorry ...
Yes, I think you reported that it was solved by replacing sh.exe with bash.exe.
But I don't know what exactly is the cause of the problem. I'm also wondering why a shell seems to be involved in the step between the compiler and assembler at all (I don't think it's so on other systems) -- perhaps this is a reason why compilation is so slow on Windoze (as The Chief reported). -- But I'm only speculating as I don't use this system, but if anyone who does feels like investigating these issues further, it might help...
