Earnie was right on the money -- the above was exactly the difference
between Markus's and my environment that caused patch to work for me
and not for him.

The patch that I produced (i.e., rcs-5.7-cygwin-2.patch) only modified
src/Makefile.in and src/conf.sh to get around the following ash "problem":
$ sh -c ./a.out
./a.out: not found"
Unfortunately, when I viewed my posting in the archives:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-10/msg00545.html
I see that my attachments (rcs-5.7-cygwin-1.patch and rcs-5.7-cygwin-2.patch)
became inline text due to being encoded as text/plain instead of
application/octet. So unless you actually received my email by being
subscribed to the list at the time, it will be hard to use my post.
FYI, rcs-5.7-cygwin-2.patch begins at the following line:
diff -upr rcs-5.7.orig/src/Makefile.in rcs-5.7/src/Makefile.in
Sorry, for any confusion that this will/has caused. Sigh...
