[bug #66292] msgfmt for Windows compiled in cygwin: can't locate GNU.Gettext.dll

[Bruno Haible]

Update of bug #66292 (group gettext):

                Category:      End-user / runtime => Build

Follow-up Comment #1:

This is probably related to bug #37980, in the sense that I never tested this
on Windows.

This seems to be a general problem with Cygwin: When I unzip an Eclipse binary
package (from eclipse.org) under Cygwin, I first need to 'chmod a+x' all *.exe
and *.dll files; otherwise, running eclipse.exe fails.

I don't know whether a better solution to this problem exists.

Is the problem only with the Cygwin filename vs. Windows filename syntax? Or
is there also a missing call to relocate?

That is, as a first try, can you please see where in
csharpcomp.sh.in
csharpexec.sh.in
csharpcomp.c
csharpexec.c
(or the corresponding Makefile.am rules) a conversion from Cygwin filename
syntax to Windows filename syntax should happen? (Cf. build-to-host.m4)
