Weren't you going to rewrite rebase in C? It is very likely that it wouldn't be accepted into binutils otherwise. >About a year ago, there was some discussion about adding libstdc++.a to >Cygwin's gcc -mno-cygwin mode. Can we revisit this issue? The biggest issue with relying on libstdc++.a for for setup.exe is that it requires this library to be built for cross-compilation. I have no idea how to do that. We have a looming problem here, though, since we will need to include at least a libsupc++.a for -mno-cygwin if/when we start using gcc 3.x. I can't build setup.exe with newer versions of gcc currently due to this lack. I don't know if libstdc++.a even builds under mingw currently. cgf
