I'm offsite, so I can't easily test solutions, but below are a few
ideas:
1) Be sure that /tmp is really writable and located on
the proper partition. If Cygwin32 is installed on d:, then
d:/tmp should exist
2) Be sure that /bin/sh.exe exists. I think that sh.exe
is a limited shell, you might try copying bash.exe to
bin/sh.exe
3) You could try using a makefile instead of the automatic
system. $PTOLEMY/mk/userstars.mk has the framework.
If you use a makefile, then it might be easier to debug.
4) You could setting the appropriate environment variable
so that Cygwin32 will print out trace information. I forget
the exact name of the variable it might be TRACE or something.
See the Cygwin32 docs on the Cygnus website for details.

failing.
