That's why Zack is trying to roll his own for gcc; gcc doesn't use fork(). See: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-11/msg01475.html and thread. --Chuck Earnie Boyd wrote: > This approach causes everyone to have to figure out what to do and may > possibly break with newer versions of the runtime.
