[New-bugs-announce] [issue3626] python3.0 interpreter on Cygwin ignores all arguments

[Yaakov (Cygwin Ports)]

New submission from Yaakov (Cygwin Ports) <yselkowitz at users.sourceforge.net>:

Attempting to build 3.0b3, the sharedmods make target results only in a
python command prompt.  In fact, it seems that the interpreter doesn't
accept any arguments:

$ /usr/bin/python --version
Python 2.5.2

$ /usr/bin/python -c 'print "Hello, World!"'
Hello, World!

$ ./python.exe --version
Python 3.0b3 (r30b3:65927, Aug 20 2008, 22:34:44) 
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

$ ./python.exe -c 'print "Hello, World!"'
Python 3.0b3 (r30b3:65927, Aug 20 2008, 22:34:44) 
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

The same happened with 3.0b2 when I tried to determine if this was a
recent regression.  I have successfully built 2.5 on a number of occasions.
