Ok, sufficiently put back in my place.  As far as our being able to do
that too, wouldn't that just require building Cygwin with VC++?

If you're able to build Cygwin with VC++ then the discrepancy of objects
disappear and you should be able to build POSIX programs with the Cygwin
runtime & VC++.  IIRC, newlib already builds with VC++.  Given this, I
didn't see how the MKS 30 day free trial was worth mentioning and thus
my harshness.

Sorry,
Earnie.
