I an not sure if this is related, but it does not hurt to mention it. I
found a bug in the MSYS (MinGW) project's port of Cygwin. The bug report
can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2435&atid=102435&func=detail&aid=807543
What I found after a detailed look into the failure is the command line
order to configure effected the failure. As the failure was in a nested
configure call this order was fixed. The bug was triggered by a call to
expr occurring after the --target option processing. It returned the
wrong result.
I know MSYS and Cygwin are not exactly the same code base, how-ever my
point is this could be a shell bug.
