You first said you were having a problem building gcc with 3.80-1. Now you say 3.80 works fine and 3.81 caused the problem. Next, you say the problem wasn't to do with gcc but some other makefile. Then you said that 3.81 didn't cause the problem. Maybe you should try and explain it over again, from the beginning? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
