I've made a new binary snapshot of the tools built with

	C(XX)FLAGS="-O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -fno-strength-reduce"

available in the usual place.  A configure of comp-tools with these
binaries took 17m30s.

If you install them in /cygnus/b19 such that there is a
/cygnus/b19/H-i386-cygwin32 directory, you should not need to set any
environment variables other than MAKE_MODE=unix and putting the bindir
in your PATH.

You should also find calls-980221.texinfo.bz2 which is the beginnings
of API documentation for Cygwin32.  It will be in b19's winsup dir
as doc/calls.texinfo.  More rearranging and hopefully a little more
completeness will happen before the actual release.

It looks like the only two calls unimplemented by Cygwin32 that are in
POSIX or ANSI C are mkfifo and setuid (not that there aren't plenty of
bugs to fix in other calls).  Still, pretty cool!
