Hi Marco,

I noticed that the build is generating libtool wrapper sources, executables, and 
shell scripts under .../build/tests/.libs/ for the test programs, so if that 
also happens with 1.37, that raises my suspicions that what is failing is 
something to do with those wrappers and Cygwin libtool mods.
