Special Thanks to Xiaofan Chen !

Xiofan, the link that you provided me had the key to my problem.
Both of my computers "xp in kitchen" and "laptop vista" have
McAfee antivirus. It turns out that disabling this prevents this kind
of problem:

====

As you were quoting

If the above error appears, it might mean you don't have the TMPDIR
defined in cygwin. You will need to define it and have its value point to
your temporary directory. You can use export TMPDIR="/cygdrive/c/temp"
or any directory for it (/cygdrive/c/temp is same as C:\temp). If this
doesn't help, make sure you run cygwin with admin rights (With Windows
Vista, right click cygwin shortcut and select "Run as administrator").
Avira AntiVir might also cause issues to m4, so disabling it while
./bootstrap
might help. "
So, not only Avira AntiVir, but also McAffee can cause problems.

Now I am almost there:

My next problem is during ./config (which starts out and gets off to a good
start)

I did:
=====
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-werror --disable-shared
--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx --with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=/home/openocd/ftd2xx
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"
=====

After many other lines of output I got:
=====
checking for ftd2xx.lib exists (win32) ... checking wether ftd2xx library
works.
.. configure: error: Cannot built & run test program using ftd2xx.lib
=====

This may be one that the people doing openocd development can explain.

Once again,

Thanks,

Joe
