The current gcc-2.97, (specifically 20001208), thanks to recent work, builds
well on cygwin, at least the C part, and the C compiler gives good test
suite results.  I have brought my suggestions up to date at
http://members.aol.com/n8tm/cygwingccg77.htm and would welcome any
suggestions on what else will improve results. g77 continues to work fairly
well, in spite of many link errors in the test suite, with some ICE cases
which have been there since early gcc-2.96 , associated with pentium-pro
instruction selection.  Still no way to know whether -Os or higher, or 486
vs pentiumpro optimization will be best, without testing each case.
