This might be a result of the problem, too. When I run the command
on W7 and W2008R2, it hangs a couple of seconds at this point, apparently
running a find(1) command, and then the output starts like this:
--- SNIP ---
ierr=256 in command='find $HOME/local /home/corinna/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin
/bin /mnt/c/Windows/system32 /mnt/c/Windows /mnt/c/Windows/System32/Wbem
/mnt/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0 -name '*gcc*' -exec ./xisgcc
'{}' \;'!
OUTPUT:
=======
find: `/home/corinna/local': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/gcc-4.exe
/usr/bin/gcc.exe
/usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gcc-4.5.3.exe

and then a couple of hundreds line of output with various make commands
or something like that.
