State of the build on Windows?

[Ted Neward]

Having installed the patched make, and having installed all of Cygwin, I
then run "j2se/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh" and "cd control/make && make
sanity" from a fresh bash prompt, and I get:

sanity-rules.gmk:64: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

? Is this another bad-environment problem?
