Hi Zach,

I suspect that however you unzipped the 3.6.2 zip file, the program you
used turned all line-feed "\n" characters into carriage-return line-feed
"\r\n" combinations for line endings, and the Cygwin tools don't understand
the carriage-return characters.

Maybe you could fix your WinZip options to not do this, using the following
steps

   1. Open WinZip Classic.
   2. Select Options > Configuration > Miscellaneous tab.
   3. Uncheck the 'TAR file smart CR/LF conversion' box. The box remains
   unchecked
      until it is checked again.
   4. Unzip the file again.

Please let us know if this fixes the problem ...
