XEmacs 21.5.9; W2k, Cygwin, "make check" fails + debug-mode (gdb) input interpretation

Hello! (cc'ed directly to Ben Wing as suggested by SJT) I'm facing the several problems using the self-built 21.5.9 as specified in the build-report below. Please note that the build was done under W2k using the latest Cygwin. XEmacs itself works acceptably now but with the following problems: 1. make check fails: $ make check cd ./src && make check make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xemacs-21.5.9/src' ./xemacs -vanilla -batch -l /usr/src/xemacs-21.5.9/src/../tests/automated/test-h arness.el -f batch-test-emacs /usr/src/xemacs-21.5.9/src/../tests/automated Testing /usr/src/xemacs-21.5.9/tests/automated/base64-tests.el... base64-tests.el: 1234 of 1234 (100%) tests successful.

In gdb mode every command, issued a single time, is executed *twice*. This is definitely worse for me than problem no. 1 as debugging is a pain like that.
