I must have > missed it. I'd be happy to ping people about this, too. It was a simple little patch that removed -lm from the command line for collect2/ld when called by g++ for a cygwin target. There was no need for the '-lm' and it will cause virtually all C++ programs to die. I am working on a more complete patch for cases where a g{cc,++} is explicitly called with -lm, -lc, etc. The nature of the extended patch is a change to ld that replaces all references to libs that are symlinks with the linked-to lib. This is going to require more work as it involves a patch to binutils and should only happen for cygwin targets. Imagine what would happen to the shared libraries on a UNIX box if this was indescriminantly applied to all targets. It could completely mess up using version-numbered vs. versionless libs. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
