Subject: Updated: gcc-2.95.2-2 and binutils-19990818-2
> I've installed a new version of the gcc and binutils package on
> sourceware: cygwin/latest/gcc and cygwin/latest/binutils.
>
> Changes:

> (Note that the below strong positive statements indicating that
> something is fixed may well be wishful thinking.)
>
> - Elimination of the /tmp\foo errors from various binutils tools.
> (Brought about by using a newer version of libiberty when building)
>
> - No more "impure_ptr" errors when compiling with -mno-cygwin.
> (After exhaustive debugging)
>
> - No more linking of libm.a since libm.a is really libcygwin.a.
> Patch from Ron Parker:
> http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/2000-06/msg00161.html
>
> - Enable -Bdynamic, -Bstatic and linking of dlls on the command line.

> - Defines -Dunix when -mno-cygwin is not specified. This was discussed

>
> - Does not automatically define any WIN32 or WINNT environment variables
> when -mno-win32 is specified.
>
> - Eliminates usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include files.

> - Fixes windres for correct handling of icons

> To update your installation, CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY, cd to it, and

> setup gcc
> setup binutils

> Answer the questions as you did when you first installed cygwin. This
> procedure will only update the gcc and binutils packages. If you have
> not previously used the new setup.exe program to install a version of
> cygwin, you probably will need to install the entire cygwin package for
> correct operation.
>
> Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory.
> It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the gcc and
> binutils tar files. None of these are needed for further operation of
> gcc or binutils but you can keep them around if you are interested in
> reinstalling everything later. The setup.log file contains diagnostics
> that will be helpful if your installation failed for some reason.
>
> As usual, I have only updated sourceware. The gcc and binutils files
> will take a while to propagate to the mirror sites.
