former title: building stratego-shell 0.7 using cygwin fails

Software:

• Windows Vista Business SP2
• cygwin 1.7.7, with (at least):
• gcc4-g++: gcc 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1
• libreadline7 + devel package
• termcap package
• ATerm / SDF / Stratego XT 0.17 for cygwin downloaded from http://strategoxt.org/Stratego/StrategoDownload
• stratego-shell 0.7 source package downloaded from http://strategoxt.org/Stratego/StrategoShellRelease07

I configured stratego-shell using:

./configure --prefix=/opt/stratego-shell --with-aterm=/opt/aterm/v2.5 --with-sdf=/opt/sdf2-bundle/v2.4 --with-strategoxt=/opt/strategoxt/v0.17

I got the following two indeterministic (i.e., first run showed first error, second run second error, etc.) errors from make:

Noticed a few days ago that sdf2table is actually completely broken for me in cygwin 1.7.7 on Vista Business; it always displays usage information: I haven’t got it to do anything useful yet.

So the stratego-shell build being broken is just a side effect of sdf2table being broken in my (cygwin) configuration.

It is the sdf2table executable from the Stratego/XT 0.17 cygwin release.
