I have just a small question... how do I compile binutils cvs trunk
under cygwin?

This was on a Windows XP SP1/cygwin P4 system with these packages:

binutils  2.12.90 20020706  (cygwin ver. 20020706-2)
cygwin    1.3.12-4
dejagnu   1.4.2.x           (cygwin ver. 20010117-1 + cvs 20020428 on top)
gcc       2.95.3-5

LAST_UPDATED: Wed Oct  9 16:31:11  2002 (UTC)

configured with:

/usr/local/src/gcc-binutils/trunk/src/configure 
--prefix=/usr/local/gcc-binutils --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-libgcj --enable-sjlj-exceptions --with-system-zlib
--without-included-gettext

and build failure like this:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -pipe -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-p
