Nothing special: A current cygwin bash (invoked as 'sh') ....

  $mingw32-make which-sh
  [Please ignore a syntax error on the next line - it is intentional]
  /usr/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
  /usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
  Using c:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe as shell.
  c:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe --version
  GNU bash, version 3.2.33(18)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
  Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[For the above: '$(SHELL) --version' added to the cmds for
the which-sh target ....]

Please note that once I apply the patch to delete the dummy temacs.exe 
file, 'mingw32-make clean' / 'mingw32-make'  works just fine and gives 
me a working Windows emacs.
