Well, maybe it is a timestamp problem, but the make did fail trying to regenerate
devices.cc using the gendevices script.  After I'd installed cocom it worked,
and overwrote devices.cc in the src/winsup/cygwin directory.  This seems
wrong by the way - a separated build shouldn't alter anything in src.

This was with a pristine CVS head checkout taken earlier today.
