Good morning. I'm quite happy to find this thread - I thought I was the one who messed things up... ;^)
I experience exactly the same problem : XP64, recently updated cygwin -> bash exits with code 128 when trying to execute anything (except builtins, of course). Same thing for gcc (tried from emacs too). To answer a question that was asked in the "xp64 fails with latest download" thread (which deals with the same problem) : I have only one cygwin1.dll file on the system. > Reverting to cygwin 1.5.23 worked. > Is someone working to fix this, or is this an opportunity for me to submit a patch? If you have a patch working, pease go ahead. Reverting to 1.5.23 is not a patch, but a workaround :-) Meanwhile, I'll stick with my good'ol'32-bit laptop... By the way, in case it's a version consistency problem, what mirror are you using ? I'm using ftp://mirror.cict.fr/ - nearest from home.
