I can remove the driver from the upstream trunk sources but, as I've repeatedly said, I don't want to make -mno-cygwin available by default. If we still, by default, have the option then we still have problems with people not getting it. I think I'd rather wait until some kind of early warning system is available in setup.exe than issue a "deprecated" warning which has the capacity to propagate everywhere and live for a long time. >I'm just trying a build now, and if it works well I'll figure out a way >to bundle it up into cygwin packages and formally ITP it.

I guess this means that I need to generate a cross-binutils, too. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
