What's this about?  Are you running this with Cygwin tools on PATH?
That's a recipe for disaster, you should run this from cmd.exe, and
you should have native Windows ports of Coreutils and of Perl
installed.  That's how I run the test suite.

Sorry, I should have said that explicitly before luring you into this
adventure.  Working with Cygwin ports will need an entirely different
set of patches to the test suite.
