Subject: Problem building the 9/14/98 snapshot

I had a little trouble building the latest snapshot.

The makefile in the winsup directory contains:

LIBGCC=${shell $(CC_FOR_TARGET) -print-libgcc-file-name}

Unfortunately the gcc that I am using (Mumit's egcs 1.02) prints the
following for the libgcc filename:

D:\CYGNUS\B19\H-I386~1\lib\gcc-lib\i386-cygwin32\egcs-2.90.27\libgcc.a

Note the backslashes, which are later interpreted as part of an escape
sequence.


I changed the setting in the makefile to:

LIBGCC=${shell $(CC_FOR_TARGET) -print-libgcc-file-name | sed 's,\\,/,g'}

This fixed the problem, but I am not sure whether this is a correct fix or
whether it should even be necessary.

BTW I am running Windows 98 with cygwinb19.dll built from the 8/12/98
snapshot.
