You're not using a Cygwin shell.  Cygwin comes with ash, bash, tcsh
and zsh.  We don't support plain cmd.exe in the first place.  It's
far more important that it works flawlessly under normal conditions
which means, using a shell from the Cygwin net distro.  Especially
we don't support COMSPEC as part of a Cygwin environment.

Which problem?  I'm using stock 2.8.4.  I don't use intermediate
developer versions for releasing.

Yup, thanks for the hint.  They are copied accidentally by
`make install-doc' apparently.
