I built patch-2.1 back in b14 and then again in b17 (the timestamp says 31 Dec 1969 :) and continue to use it without problems. (I remember I found the problem of cygwin.dll's rename() having the wrong return codes in b14.) The problem may just be with patch distributed with b18, although you might as well get the latest and greatest version if you have to build it for yourself. -- James Dumser 972-462-5335 dumser AT ti DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
