This seems like a real shot in the dark to me.  What would not be
terminating a truncated command line?  Cygwin?  That's not likely.

AFAIK, only very recent CVS versions of binutils take '@' command line
arguments, although cygwin will honor them itself for processes which
are not started by a cygwin process.  I don't see any indication that
this is the problem here.

If this is a command-line length problem then something like:

  mount -X -b c:/cygwin/bin /bin
  mount -X -b c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin

would probably fix it.
