Subject:	Continued problems compiling with Cygwin 1.3.x
Mime-Version:	1.0

I brought this up once before but never received any responses (at least 
that I saw.) It seems to have happened with the upgrade to 
1.3.x.  Currently I am using the patched version of 1.3.2 that ships with 
KDE, but this was also happenning on the released version of 1.3.2. Most 
attempts to compile anything keep failing at some point or another with 
syntax errors in some of the system include files.  I have included the 
output from one such failure during a run of configure trying to build 
xfce.  But this happens with basically anything I have tried to build lately.

configure:1566: gcc -Xc -D__EXTENSIONS__ -c -g -O2  conftest.c 1>&5
gcc: unrecognized option `-Xc'
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:48,
                  from configure:1531:
/usr/include/sys/reent.h:114: parse error before `ssize_t'
/usr/include/sys/reent.h:114: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

In file included from configure:1532:
/usr/include/sys/types.h: At top level:
/usr/include/sys/types.h:137: `ssize_t' redeclared as different kind of symbol

Which fileset contains these? I was assuming it was the cygwin dll itself, 
but I even tried backing out to 1.1.8 but to no avail.  Is there something 
else I should either try to backout or look at updating? Thanks for the help.
