The stock b18 or Sergey's coolview? - ditto for /bin/sh - If using Sergey's cygwin.dll, are you using binary mounts? With config stuff out of the way, some dev toolchain questions: - have you applied patch on my ftp site to egcs-1.0 distribution? - are you using a new'ish binutils snapshot (971023 or newer)? EGCS WILL NOT WORK w/out a new binutils snapshot. If you can't get the source, you can use my egcs-1.0 binary distribution to bootstrap a new one from source since it comes with a 971023 binutils. http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for info on getting egcs-1.00 binaries for cygwin32. You'll also find the source patch if you follow the ftp download pointer. btw, yes, there are a few people who have successfully built egcs-1.00 from source. There is a problem however that's going to bite to you. To avoid that, make sure there is a copy of ld.exe in gcc/collect-ld.exe or after configuring, set USE_COLLECT2 to empty in gcc/Makefile. If this is not done, then collect2 goes into an infinite loop. Please report bugs as you find them!
