Please don't use x:/path/ style unless you also specify --srcdir option.
Treat this like Unix, and you'll get much further.
$ CONFIG_SHELL=bash bash //c/egcs/egcs-1.1.2/configure \
--target=powerpc-motorola --with-multilibs
The reason bash is getting confused is simple -- it tries to deduce the
source directory from the argv[0], and getting confused with ':' in the
pathname. Ideally it shouldn't, but it does and until someone fixes it,
it'll remain that way.
