It was a try ;)

The -f massively speeds up tcsh so you're most propably triggering
a race somewhere in cygwin.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it with my two systems, so you're
on your own.

It would be nice if you would find a short testcase to trigger this
problem. With this info the cygwin guys fix a problem very fast.

Not really. Can you try to start the build with:
$ cd instsetoo_native
$ build --all
instead and see if it also hangs imediately. We need to find a
reproducible hang with a small testcase.

That is like running on 1/2 power.
