mosipov_at_mika /cygdrive/d/Projekte/curl.cygwin
$ LANG=C git branch
* (detached from curl-7_38_0)
   master

Executed ./buildconf and ran configure without passing host. At some
point make exits with:

libtool: link: /usr/bin/ar cru .libs/libcurl.a libcurl_la-file.o
libcurl_la-timeval.o libcurl_la-base64.o libcurl_la-hostip.o
libcurl_la-progress.o libcurl_la-formdata.o libcurl_la-cookie.o [...]
../libtool: line 1101: /usr/bin/ar: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libcurl.la] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/d/Projekte/curl.cygwin/lib'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/Projekte/curl.cygwin/lib'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

but

mosipov_at_mika /cygdrive/d/Projekte/curl.cygwin
$ which ar
/usr/bin/ar

I am clueless here...

This is less of a problem now.
