I think both Peter and the OP thought this through more than I had -- once you use '@' with the gcc command line, there is still further argument passing going on between gcc and its (cygwin) subprocesses. So, to bypass the 32K limit, you do need to use '@' for the initial command line to gcc and any program that gcc calls needs to be mounted with -X. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
