Issue #16953 has been updated by MSP-Greg (Greg L).

Thanks.  Everything seems fine wiht master.  I looked at a commit somewhat later than the version listed (2020-06-11), and all the bin stubs were contained in the `bin` folder.  Today, they are generated in another manner; they're not in the bin folder.

But, the current `ruby_3_0` branch does have the bin stubs in the `bin` folder, so 3.0 may have the issue.  I'll build that soon and report back...

Bug #16953: Windows bash bin files removed in master
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16953#change-94128

* Author: MSP-Greg (Greg L)
* Status: Feedback
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 2.8.0dev (2020-06-11T15:55:31Z master 631c01f5ae) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Master is not creating bash bin files for Windows builds, only files with extensions cmd or bat.

Although running Ruby from a bash shell in Windows is probably uncommon, some repo's CI can only be run from a bash shell.  A good example is Bundler.  With a correctly setup bash shell, it passes with Ruby 2.4 thru master.  See https://github.com/MSP-Greg/rubygems/actions/runs/131762536

At present, I'm adding the files to ruby-loco's mingw & mswin builds (and also changing `#!/usr/bin/env ruby` to `#! ruby`), but having them installed natively would be helpful.
