> (Note that the below strong positive statements indicating that
> something is fixed may well be wishful thinking.)
> 
> - Elimination of the /tmp\foo errors from various binutils tools.
>   (Brought about by using a newer version of libiberty when building)
> 
> - No more "impure_ptr" errors when compiling with -mno-cygwin.
>   (After exhaustive debugging)
> 
> - No more linking of libm.a since libm.a is really libcygwin.a.
>   Patch from Ron Parker:
>   http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/2000-06/msg00161.html
> 
> - Enable -Bdynamic, -Bstatic and linking of dlls on the command line.
>   Patches from Chuck Wilson:
>   http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-05/msg00937.html
>   http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/binutils/2000-05/msg00340.html
>   http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/binutils/2000-05/msg00337.html
> 
> - Defines -Dunix when -mno-cygwin is not specified.  This was discussed
>   on the Cygwin mailing list recently.  You should be able to undef
>   this by saying -Uunix if it causes problems.   
> 
> - Does not automatically define any WIN32 or WINNT environment variables
>   when -mno-win32 is specified.
> 
> - Eliminates usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include files.
> 
> - Fixes windres for correct handling of icons

> To update your installation, CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY, cd to it, and

>                 setup gcc
> setup binutils
> 
> Answer the questions as you did when you first installed cygwin.  This
> procedure will only update the gcc and binutils packages.  If you have
> not previously used the new setup.exe program to install a version of
> cygwin, you probably will need to install the entire cygwin package for
> correct operation.
> 
> Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory.
> It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the gcc and
> binutils tar files.  None of these are needed for further operation of
> gcc or binutils but you can keep them around if you are interested in
> reinstalling everything later.  The setup.log file contains diagnostics
> that will be helpful if your installation failed for some reason.
> 
> As usual, I have only updated sourceware.  The gcc and binutils files
> will take a while to propagate to the mirror sites.

> If you have questions or comments, please send them to the cygwin
