Hi,
I think there is a problem with fchdir() which seems to be new in Cygwin
1.3.3.
I recompiled fileutils-4.1. Afterwards commands like "mkdir /somedir" and
"rm -rf /somedir" do not work anymore. According to the error message
"cannot open current directory" the commands fail in lib/save-cwd.c,
function save_cwd(). After removing the define for HAVE_FCHDIR in config.h
everything works fine.
