[Autogen-users] /bin/bash: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'

[Ron A. <ra...@of...>]

This is a cygwin-only problem. See below.
If I run autogen from `make`, bash reports
syntax errors. If I run the autogen command
directly, it runs fine.

Any idea how I debug this?
Thanks,

Ron Arts
