Re: Can't build GDB 4.18 under Cygnus 2.0.1

[Roger Cruz <rogerc@ignitus.com>]

For future reference, the problem was with my environment.  I have WRS Tornado
installed in my PC as well. Tornado uses B19 of CygWin and it just so happen that the
sed program it was picking up was from that version rather than my cygwin b20.  A
little rearrangement of the path solved the problem which I'm convinced was only with
the sed program and not the bash shell like I initially suspected.
