My guess is that it's the environment; if not that, the working
directory. Assuming you have already instrumented
ccompiler.CCompiler.spawn, I suggest to dump os.environ and
print os.getcwd(). Assuming you really meant that you run under
Cygwin Python (instead of just using --compiler), you might
want to instrument spawn._spawn_posix instead.

When you say you extracted _spawn_all from distutils/spawn.py:
what version of Python are you talking about? I can't find
_spawn_all in the sources of 2.5.x, or 2.6.
