An alternative theory is that my Cygwin install got nuked as I did not
remove the previously built version of Sage, and the address space for the
Cygwin dlls was not able to accommodate that much (my Cygwin install is
almost full, I think).
So I have removed /etc/rebase* database files and the previous Sage
installs, and after re-running cygwin setup I was able to run rebaseall
without errors.
Now buiding the latest beta, will see how far I get this time.
