Subject: Compile 1.9.3 on cygwin

Hi,

since a few day I cannot compile Ruby 1.9.3 under Cygwin.  I haven't
found the reason so far.  Could be caused by a cygwin update or
something else. Libs are all in place.  In fact this compile worked
without issues in the past.

Here's the error

$ MAKEFLAGS='--trace' make
...
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Archives/ruby-lang.org/ruby-1.9.3-p0'
enc.mk:68: target `make-workdir' does not exist

Could be a local thing on my machine or something else.  Does anybody
else have these issues?  Any ideas what's going on?  I could not find
out what's wrong with openssl yet.

Kind regards

robert
