I have now searched my log ... the problem applies to lndir, rman, makestrs,
revpath, bitmap, bmtoa, atobm, proxymngr, xclipboard, xcutsel, xdm,
xdmshell, sessreg, chooser, xfindproxy, xinit, and xsm.

If that is the case then the Imakefile for xterm needs to be fixed because
some non-Cygwin programmer that has an empty ProgramTargetName macro
accidentally wrapped each target name in PROGRAMS with ProgramTargetName.
On their non-Cygwin platform this makes no difference, but on Cygwin this
makes a huge difference because our ProgramTargetName appends .exe to the
target name.  Thus, someone simply needs to remove the ProgramTargetName
wrappings from xterm's Imakefile and submit that as a patch.
