Not the whole strace output, but a snippet around the actual problem.
I don't know if it is useful. It's not useful to me...
I have the whole output (~12MB) readily available on request.

I used this command to generate the log:
"strace bash ../../ggi3/ggi-core/libgii/configure --prefix=/usr
--with-extra-includes=/cygdrive/c/dx9csdk/include &> bashstrace"

Cheers,
Peter
