My comments are relative to the Oct-08 snapshot on WinNT 4.

+ Performance:
  gcc goes to 99% CPU when running Perl's Configure script and
  overall system interactivity becomes painfully slow.  GNU
  configure's of other packages show similar slowdowns.

+ Restructuring of libm.a, libc.a and libcygwin.a:
  Should be mentioned in the changes list?
  Also, __infinity seems to be multiply-defined:
	/usr/lib/libcygwin.a(ds00023.o)(.text+0x0): multiple definition of
`__infinity'
	/usr/lib/libm.a(s_infconst.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here
  Or I might be doing something wrong.  I'm still struggling
  to get Perl to compile.

+ getcwd() seems to be busted:

	#include <stdio.h>
	main() { printf("getcwd=%s\n", getcwd(NULL, 0)); }

  produces:

	getcwd=(null)

Regards,

Eric Fifer
