I'm trying to find out where cc1.exe is hanging up when
attempting to build snapshots. All I know so far is that it
completes certain compilations with -O0 which it doesn't
with -O. Thought gdb would be the route to finding out more.
No such luck. I have installed cygwin since the mail about a
fix for this, but don't remember if we were told to do something
special.
