Subject: Build Error in racc/cparse on Cygwin

During a full make it bombs out while compiling racc/cparse. It
complains that i386-cygwin exists in .ext. Checking the directory
there was a file called i386-cygwin. For the build to continue it must
be deleted and recreated as a directory. If you simply delete the file
and try carrying on the build the file is simply created again.
