I didn't take the question as being one where gcj and libgcj were to be built without regard to other consequences, although I'm surprised if gcj doesn't allocate anything on stack. Static objects are under the control of the alignment for which binutils is built, so you don't get 8-byte alignment of statics with the stock cygwin binutils build. -- Tim Prince -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
