Make sure that you're mounted in text mode (check out:
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/June/0255.html for
the command to remount). I'm not sure if that is your problem, but
maybe it is.

This is absolutely infuriating! Here's the way to correct it
(theoretically):
Around line 337 of src/config/abi_defs.mk change:
DIST = $(ABI_ROOT)/dist
OUT = $(ABI_ROOT)/src
to
ifeq ($(OS_NAME), WIN32)
DIST = $(ABI_XX_ROOT)/dist
OUT = $(ABI_XX_ROOT)/src
else
DIST = $(ABI_ROOT)/dist
OUT = $(ABI_ROOT)/src
endif
Should this work? yeah. Does it? no. When I perform the command:
make ABI_BUILD_VERSION=0.7.10 distribution
I get the error:
assertion "*p2 != '\0'" failed: file "/src/make/read.c", line 866
0 [sig] make 22079 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to
make.exe.stackdump
Does anyone else who tries this change on cygwin 1.1.2 get this error?
I would appreciate any leads that people can give me. Help!!
