clisp testsuite failure on cygwin

[Anonymous Coward]

Trying to build clisp 2.29 from source.
Using cygwin DLL 1.3.10 and gcc 2.95.3-5 on windows 2000 sp2.
Not that it appears to matter here, but all drives are mounted with
cygwin as binmode in order to preserve posix text file operation
semantics (no newline mangling).

Build succeeds. "make test" passes. Last few lines of output of "make
testsuite":

Test failed.
To see which tests failed, type
cat /usr/local/clisp/src/suite/*.erg
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/clisp/src/suite'

Only .erg file is excepsit.erg, with contents

Form: (PROGN (WITH-OPEN-FILE (S "/tmp/foo35.tmp" :DIRECTION :OUTPUT))
(DELETE-FILE "/tmp/foo35.tmp/bar"))
CORRECT: FILE-ERROR
CLISP: NIL

/tmp is empty upon completion of the testsuite.

"make install" succeeds. Running clisp from cmd.exe gives me a REPL,
as expected. Running clisp from bash in rxvt gives me

*** - UNIX error 13 (EACCES): Permission denied

about a million times, and then terminates.
Pressing ctrl-c before it terminates results in

*** - UNIX error
** - Continuable Error
Unprintable error message.
If you continue (by typing 'continue'): Continue execution
*** - Unprintable error message

being interspersed within the error deluge, though otherwise has no
effect, unless I hold down ctrl-c, in which case I get that latter
sequence of errors a lot and clisp will eventually hang, and I have to
kill its process using another terminal window. Dunno what
"Unprintable error message" means, unless maybe it was really really
profane.

Ideas?

BTW, a testsuite in ocaml fails on this same system too, but in an
apparently unrelated way; see my post "ocaml testsuite failure on
cygwin" in comp.lang.ml.

both problems should be fixed in the CVS sources.
