Thanks Volker. Just to sum up some findings: 1) I rebuild an old source. As some of the path variable have changed (compared to the last time I build), I think running $SRC/config_office/configure would help to making the winenv.set work correctly. After configure, I think bootstrap would be the next command I type. Actually the dmake *is* already in $SRC/solenv/wntmsci10. I don't have to type ./bootstrap. I think that is why it is causing the error message: cp: cannot stat '/cygdrive/d/OOA680_m1/dmake/dmake.exe': No such file or directory My mistake! :p 2) The difference between the computer setting as of now and that as of the last build (at about Mid-March) is... the upgrade of my computer BIOS. I now downgrade my BIOS back to before. I then start the build. I just run $SRC/config_office/configure, tcsh, source winenv.set and rehash. Then dmake. The build goes on. At several points of time, I think the build may hang and so I do the ls /proc/*/fd thing. I am not too sure whether just the build need a second or two to do things... I will get a clean source and build again to see if the build hang. 3) I will also try to see if disable hyper threading would help to get rid of the 'hang' problem. Keith.

Same as above, until someone provides a recipe to reproduce this problem with a small testcase we have to hope that the cygwin developers accidentally find and fix this problem.
