Created attachment 520670 [details, diff] fix_kde5-functions.eclass_for_cygwin.patch I have never seen this when working on a normal Gentoo system. But while merging Konsole and KCalc in a Gentoo Prefix on Cygwin, merges would fail because ${T}/bogus${dep} ended up empty which is not handled. I am very sorry that I do not remember the packages that caused the failings, but at least the fix is easy. With the attached patch all packages merged just fine.
${T}/bogus${dep} should never be empty AFAIK, so I suspect the root cause to be something else. Are you able to try running the earlier pcregrep command within the prefix to see if that works manually?

I have rebuild my prefix, and am at least far enough to start an "emerge kcalc". So I'll revert my fix locally and see what breaks when. Then I'll report back.
@Michael : You were right. The cause for ${T}/bogus${dep} being empty must have been somewhere else. I have just finished merging in kcalc and konsole, and had reverted my patch before starting to merge any kde related packages. What should I say? Everything went through just fine. So the only thing left to do for is is closing this bug.
