Guys:

I have a Makefile with a command like this:

 mkdir -p /opt/billgatliff/{usr,lib}

Works fine under Linux, but not on the latest Cygwin.

Under Cygwin, what I actually get is a directory called "{usr",
instead of "usr".  Other variations on this brace expansion (in tar
arguments, etc.) produce similar problems.

I checked this:

$ set | grep SHELL
SHELL=/bin/bash


Seems fine.  But when I do this:

$ make SHELL=/bin/sh ...

I actually get what I'm after, i.e. "usr" instead of "{usr".


*shrug*
