Hi Pierre,

yup - you are right, Mr Egle's eye. The manual mounts I created had a typo -
but the cygwin inst wiped them anyways .

yup, you are right again: there was a trailing backslash in my cygwin root.
But that had been there since my first cygwin days (fall 2001).
Has there been a change in behavour between cygwin 1.5.10.x and earlier
versions?
This tiny little backslash caused my a couple of days grief!

thank you so much. finally I'm now able to compile and link again!
H.
