I am trying again to port some legacy C code (struct) to cygwin. It runs
OK under gcc on Unix and linux, without the -traditional option, which
cygwin doesn't support (const used in stdio.h, for example).  It looks a
lot closer to working than it used to be with cygwin.  The problem
appears to be a failure to recognize EOF, which could well be a problem
comparing a value promoted from char with EOF, which is defined as (-1).
Is this a newlib problem, or does gcc have unsigned char defaults in
cygwin?
