Subject: ffi.h in gjc > 3.3 is broken
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I have been using Cygwin successfully to compile GNUstep for the Windows 
platform for quite some time (Thank you for including all the needed 
bits in Cygwin!). But since my recent updates of Cygwin this does no 
longer work. The reason is the header file ffi.h provided with the GNU 
Java compiler package. GNUstep uses this header and library for its own 
distributed object calls (Sort of RFC, but for objects).

What is missing is a file included in ffi.h (a different one for 3.3 and 
3.4 of gcc-java) that is generated when compiling the ffi library for a 
specific platform. It would be great to see both gjc 3.3 and 3.4 fixed, 
as some people are still reluctant to move on to 3.4 and in the long run 
it may even be worthwhile to ship libffi separate from gjc.

Cheers
Fred
