Well, that's the problem then.  Here (w2k), I get 'x86 archive import' 
for all of them.  So why is the script failing on your box, and 
succeeding on mine?

Let's try this: change the sh-bang line to '#!/bin/sh -x' and show the 
result of

'./cygwin_libid /usr/lib/libcygwin.a > outputfile 2>&1'

Here's my results:

+ OBJDUMP=objdump
+ NM=nm
+ win32_libid /usr/lib/libcygwin.a
+ win32_libid_type=unknown
+ file -L /usr/lib/libcygwin.a
+ win32_fileres=/usr/lib/libcygwin.a: current ar archive
+ eval objdump -f /usr/lib/libcygwin.a
+ objdump -f /usr/lib/libcygwin.a
+ head -n 10
+ grep -E file format pe-i386(.*architecture: i386)?
+ eval nm -f posix -A /usr/lib/libcygwin.a
+ nm -f posix -A /usr/lib/libcygwin.a
+ sed -n -e 1,100{/ I /{x;/import/!{s/^/import/;h;p;};x;}}
+ win32_nmres=import
+ test Ximport = Ximport
+ win32_libid_type=x86 archive import
+ echo x86 archive import
x86 archive import
