I apologize for the delay -- my cygwin computer has been "borrowed" by
my wife while we quickly try to replace hers.

As someone already said, CVS head certainly works, and you can grab the
gdb package for cygwin.

That being said, I still think there is something wrong with you system.
Try running "perl" all by itself. Does it aslo die?

Another thing to try: run the whole of configure two different ways:

1) use "/bin/bash -x /path/to/configure --prefix=..."
2) run under strace. According to http://www.cygwin.com/packages,
strace.exe is part of a standard install. (So do something like "strace
/path/to/configure --prefix=..." and redirect the output)

One more thing:
What is the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r"?
