Making a directory parallell to bash\2.05b and running 
../2.05b/configure there I ran into the usual problem with unix line 
endings on ms windows in the .def-files. (Getting rid of that is one 
reason I am doing this.) Fixing this and running make again I get the 
following error:

gcc  -DPROGRAM='"bash.exe"' -DCONF_HOSTTYPE='"i686"' 
-DCONF_OSTYPE='"msys"' -DCONF_MACHTYPE='"i686-pc-msys"' 
-DCONF_VENDOR='"pc"' -DSHELL -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I.  -I../2.05b 
-I../2.05b/include -I../2.05b/lib  -g -O2 -c ../2.05b/jobs.c
