It is triggered anywhere multiple inheritance is combined with stdcall. Since I believe XPCOM uses stdcall on Windows (but "cdecl" on other targets), I believe the answer here is 'Yes, Mozilla will not compile.' I think it's likely that mingw.org will include this fix in their own releases of 4.2, which is probably a bad thing, as it makes the need to get this fix into official GCC sources seem less urgent. A lot of GCC patches for Windows-related issues tend to stall for a long time in this state; I'm not really sure why. -- 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/
