GCC is trying to use the appropriate set of internationalized opening and closing single-quote marks.

Seriously, if you're using it in the first place, you are doing something very very wrong indeed (like trying to link to pre-compiled linux binaries) that you should not be doing, because neither it nor anything else will work. You will break every library and just everything. Sorry about that, but the decision to prefix symbols with an underscore or not is part of the win32 ABI, not open to changing according to a user's preferences, and frankly I don't think this option serves any useful purpose except to break things and confuse people by giving them hope that things might work that can in fact never succeed. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
