Yep. Those are standard errors resulting from the fact that libstdc++.a
is compiled via g++ rather than 'g++ -mno-cygwin'.

Yep.

I had tried to use Dale's specs file but I've finally realized that it
didn't fit well with what I'm trying to do. There are still pieces of
his stuff in the specs file that I released but some parts had to be
removed since his stuff seemed to use msvcrt a lot and that is not
currently part of the cygwin release.
Again, if either Mumit comes back and wants to fix this or someone else
wants to volunteer to handle the gcc release, I'll be happy to give them
my sources. I am not interested in spending a lot of time trying to get
-mno-cygwin working in every conceivable configuration. This is only on
the very periphery of what I am interested in and responsible for.

Thanks for your reports.
