I get *a lot* of email from people off-list who are completely confused about how to use the mailing list. It would be truly wonderful if I didn't have to deal with that email on a daily basis. I'd love to just classify it as silly and forget about it. I'm not going to do that, of course because there isn't anyone else available for dealing with these issues. Similarly when the third "I can't compile libiberty" message came in, I assumed that everyone was obviously thinking about the problem incorrectly and no one was actually going to offer a solution. So, I offered an observation and a solution. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
