Will do.  Thanks for the heads up.

It looks like I have to add a MANIFEST ability too since I screwed up gdb
without noticing.

I thought I saw this complaint.

Hmm.  We noticed this when building strace and Mumit submitted a workaround
for it.  If you search the cygwin-developers archive you might find the
reason for this.  I think that the gcc library is somehow pulling in bits
of the cygwin library.

Thanks for the synopsis, Ron.  Much appreciated.
