This sounds like /bin/sh is missing. If not that, I don't know what
it would be. The fact that it's mixing long and short names
in the same path looks strange, though.

I only got dejagnu working under NT a few days ago. My changes
are checked in, so they might be in the next snapshot. I fixed
a lot of bugs that caused timeouts, access violations, and
resource leaks. Not all the changes were in cygwin; some were
in expect.
Setting the DEJAGNU variable tells dejagnu where your site-specific
configuration is. There is a cygwin-specific site.exp, but
all it does is disable some of the gdb tests that aren't supported
yet. Otherwise, the default "unix" configuration works.
Dejagnu should come with a sample site.exp that should work
OK as long as it has that default case in it.
