I can't speak for the others. Cygwin1.dll -requires- newlib to be built. The installed c library on a cygwin system is not able to be used when linking cygwin1.dll. > Should it mean "Don't build or use the newlib in the tree; use installed > libs and headers, or the ones specified with --with-libs and > --with-headers"? > > Should it be illegal, and give an error message? Chris is probably the person with the canonical answer. However, "illegal and an error", or "illegal, warn, and build newlib anyway" both make sense to me.
