Get the latest snapshot from ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/snapshots/,
apply my patch (there is a "combined" patch file in the tarball in
addition to all the individual patches), and just build.
$ mkdir objdir
$ cd objdir
$ CONFIG_SHELL=bash <srcdir>/configure -v \
--prefix=/Cygnus/cygwin-b20 \
--exec-prefix=/Cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32 \
i586-cygwin32
$ make bootstrap
Now here're the tricky parts:
1. your prefix etc may be different
2. make bootstrap will likely fail due to compare mismatch. Don't know
why that happens, but since the testsuite does fine, I'm not going
to worry about it now. This is what I do:
$ make
$ make install
[add the new one to path]
$ make clean
$ make
$ make install
Of course, it's much easier if you do it all on a Linux box ;-)
Good luck.
Regards,
Mumit
