Well, there's your answer - it's /bin/sh which you have missing, not egrep.
In Cygwin egrep is a shell script rather than a symlink. I believe there
was a window during the recent changeover of /bin/sh from ash to bash where
the update could cause /bin/sh to be deleted. Just copy /usr/bin/bash to
/usr/bin/sh and all should be well.
