I cannot say for sure, but I suspect the linker. My problem is unrelated, yet most likely akin to yours. When I link a program with the object files, all is fine. If I link with the objects in a library archive, the resulting program is not the same size and the program misbehaves. It's not ar, though, as I can extract the object from the library and things work fine again. I'd say ld has a problem with static and DL libraries. I'd like to look into this some more and perhaps try a more recent binutils. Does anyone know the mailing list for it? - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
