Eric,
With cygwin-1.7.0-44 and coreutils-7.0-2, install(1) no longer appends
'.exe' to the destination filename. STC:
### in a clean directory
$ echo -e '#include <stdio.h>\nint main(void) { printf("Hello
World!\\n"); }' > hello.c
$ echo 'all: hello' > Makefile
$ make
cc hello.c -o hello
$ mkdir -p d1
$ install hello d1
$ find . -type f
./d1/hello
./hello.c
./hello.exe
./Makefile
This breaks non-autotoolized makefiles which don't account for EXEEXT.
Interestingly, though, strip(1) will still add an .exe:
$ strip d1/hello
$ find d1 -type f
d1/hello.exe
