Thank YOU for your diligent efforts with regards to this core package!

I've never understood why this was necessary -- because you can (natively) build gcc on mingw, and IT doesn't have support for managed mounts. What part of gcc is built on cygwin, but not on mingw, such that cygwin encounters this naming issue and is forced to resort to managed mounts? collect2 maybe? -- Chuck -- 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/
