 As it turns out, I had been using 'ash' as 'sh'. 
Once I made 'bash' the
 'sh' it worked properly.

 There should probably be a FAQ or note or something added to tell people
 building with the Cygwin and/or Mingw toolchain(s) that if they have
 problems with temacs not properly processing .el files, they should make
 sure that they are using a copy of bash as sh. 
Note that (on Unix at least) failure to run under ash typically means
that the script is not POSIX conforming. That means that the script
should be fixed (as changing it to #!/bin/bash is not an option).
