c:\opt\cygwin\bin> ash rebaseall Occasionally needed (esp python) when installing packages.

When trying to get Node.js running on Windows 7 under Cygwin, I ran intro troubles when trying to run the 'rebaseall' command: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll: fixing bad relocations FixImage (/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll) failed with last error = 13 To get past this, I edited /bin/rebaseall, and added the following code to the other filters on line 110: -e '/\/sys-root\/mingw\/bin/d' After that addition, 'rebaseall' now finishes completely, Node.js configures/builds/installs correctly, and everything seems to be fine.
