Trouble with ./configure@cygwin

Hi everyone
When running ./configure on Cygwin (1st try): I've got this error message :
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
linking ./src/backend/port/tas/dummy.s to src/backend/port/tas.s
configure: error: ./src/backend/port/tas/dummy.s: File not found
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And really, the file "dummy.s" does NOT exist in this repository (hpux.s, solaris_i386.s & solaris_sparc.s are present). Am I supposed to download this file
from anywhere@www or to modify my configuration parameters ?
Thanks in advance

It should certainly be there:

$ ls -l src/backend/port/tas/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x   2 postgres   users         1024 May  5 18:15 CVS
-rw-r--r--   1 postgres   users            0 Feb  4  1998 dummy.s

-rwxr-xr-x   1 postgres   users         1101 Jun 18  1998 solaris_sparc.s

Perhaps your method of downloading omits zero-length files?  How did you
come by the fileset, anyway?
