Excluding tests 199 and 205, I finally managed to get a testsuite.log.

[From what I experience, 199 hangs ca. 3 out of 4 times, 205 always hangs]

Something is wrong with your cygwin environment. Simple shell commands should not be aborting like that. I'm suspecting that you are running into a case where cygwin's fork() is failing to remap dependent .dlls to the same address in the child as they were in the parent. Do you need to rebase your cygwin .dlls, using the 'rebaseall' program?
As I told you before, I am more or less a newbie to cygwin and don't even understand this remark of yours.

Are you running with an interfering virus checker or other ill-behaved system-level code-injection application that interferes with cygwin operation?

You may be better off asking on the cygwin list for ideas how to diagnose and repair your installation.

This system doesn't have any of the programs listed on this page installed.

Other than the known failures of 199 and 205 (because of the known cygwin bugs in named fifo handling), the remaining tests all pass for me under cygwin 1.7.7.

As I also told you before, all of these errors (except of 199 and 205) appear at random, sometimes they appear, sometimes they don't.

However, when using autoconf to build real code, I am occasionally observing sh (== bash) breaksdowns (in unix terms: segfaults)
