Unable to install coreutils 8.15-1(?) - error in coreutils.sh exit code 127

[Andrew DeFaria]

This may or may not be related... In keeping my Cygwin installation up 
to date I refreshed my install. There was some lib<something or other> 
that was new and the coreutils, which keeps reporting it is new but 
which I have not been able to update to. As I said before, updating the 
coreutils results in a system in which most exe's fail to run, do 
nothing but return 127 for an exit status. I suspect most of these are 
simply loader errors.

Reinstalling coreutils 8.14-1 gets me back up and running but I cannot 
start Apache. Doing things like:

$ /usr/sbin/httpd2 -t
$

Does nothing (Normally this just checks your config file's syntax and 
says Syntax OK or tells you what's wrong. Here is says nothing). Of 
course a 127 is returned.

Trying this in cmd is a little more informative. I get a dialog box stating:

The procedure entry point sys_siglist could not be located in the 
dynamic link library cygwin1.dll

Interesting.
