Hi,

I'm trying to port my (working) C++ programs from Unix to my PC using
cygwin32. When I link, I get the following error messages:

/home/kris/PPhead/buildblock/libbuildblock.a(sinodata.o)(.data+0x0):sinodata
..cc:

Is there a way out ?

One suggestion is to use egcs, which does not have the above problem.
However, I just stumbled on another bug there such that my things don't
compile with egcs...
