Assuming that your patch trims \r from the end of the line read from
configure.in, the patch in the first mail. However, see the comments below.

So, I can assume that your intern was using version b20.1 before that and was
setup to use text mode processing. Install the new version of cygwin 1.1.0
switched the mount points to binary mode processing causing the problem with \r
line endings. The real solution would be to force the mounts back to text mode
like so:
bash$ mount -f -t d:/cygwin /
bash$ mount -f -t d:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin
bash$ mount -f -t d:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib
where d:/cygwin is the installed drive and path.

It would be a must, have the intern also take a look at my cygwin page in my
sig.
