Hello again !
( at first, I get the digest version of the messages, so I canīt reply
in the thread :-( )
I did a complete download at 2003-11-29, with which I encountered the
problems with the "__getreent missing" messages of the G++ compiler and
other tools. So I beg your pardon, that I reported this expericence so
"lately".
Now with download of 2004-01-24, at least G++ is running, so my problem
is particially solved. I did not check the other packages.
The "only" useful update technology for me as Windows users, is to use
WS_FTP by doing a recursive directory download, so that just "new" files
( not yet existing on my local computer) were downloaded, PLUS setup.bz2.
Due to this process, I realize:
gcc/gccg++/
does not contain updated files since 2003-10.
So the "critical" "bad" component is probably
cygwin/cygwin-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2
!!!!!
If I am right, note that
cygwin/cygwin-1.5.6.1.tar.bz2
is of 2004-01-19, so that my posting is just "superfluous" since a few days.
****** I just would like to advice other newbies and experts, IF they
run into such problems, to post it here in the list !
**** Thanks to "Homar Simpson" for support and agreeing to my message in
this mailing list.
But I canīt agree with his conclusion

as with the same-old GCC, but with new cygwin base package, G++ works now !

Exactly, so
cygwin/cygwin-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2
is the bad package, from my point of view.
As some of the packages of 2003-11 were running, like GCC, but some like
G++ NOT,
Might the team consider to delete or ??update?? the "critical"
components from the FTP download, so that nobody is mislead to download
and use a corrupt release of cygwin-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2 ? As I am a newbie,
I donīt know about the practice and rules with this project.
Anyhow,
cygwin/cygwin-1.5.6.1.tar.bz2
is a working solution !
Sincerely
Rolf
