Fortunately, I have VMware with a Win98 image here. The problem is that bloda.c calls NtQuerySystemInformation without using any kind of autoload.cc-type indirection, and so cygcheck gets a hard dependency on ntdll.dll which doesn't exist on 9x/ME. We need to do one of: - Revert the bloda-check feature on the 1.5 branch - Check windows version at runtime and only do NT calls through LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress - Use the autoload.cc trick in cygcheck If we're going to make releases from the 1.5 branch then I don't think it's quite acceptible just yet to shaft 9x users, after all that's the whole point of the branch.
