*I* don't see this in the script - as the cd to
i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cinstall is a comment (unless # character is no
longer a comment) would this not mean that the previous cd to
/usr/develop/obj would be the last one to occur and thus the script would
be running the 'make clean' in that directory.

The top directory is /usr/develop/obj which was the last place cd'd to
before the make clean.

*I* don't either, obviously - maybe it's the evil Win95 vs WinNt thing
again. I can only assume my script does not type so well and in the
future *I* must type the 'make clean' myself from the appropriate
directory instead of relying on a script to perform that action for me.
If I upset you by insinuating that make would not do recursion - my
apologies. I obviously made an incorrect assumption and once again shot
my mouth off. One of these days I hope to learn to engage my brain
before engaging my mouth.
