Hi,

Could someone explain the following behaviour of the
g++ compiler in egcs-1.1b?

I have compiled it with egcs-1.0.2.

E.g. the line
    static const int NO_COPY cygwin_dll_version_major
= 			                             CYGWIN_DLL_VERSION_MAJOR;

from winsup/dcrt0.cc where NO_COPY is

    #define NO_COPY __attribute__((section(".data_cygwin_nocopy")))

compiled with

gcc -c -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wunused  -I./include -I.
-I../libstdc++/stl -I../libio -I../libio -I../newlib/libc/sys/cygwin32
-I../newlib/libc/include -I./config/i386 -nostdinc++ -o dcrt0.o dcrt0.cc

results in:

dcrt0.cc:37: int const cygwin_dll_version_major causes a section type
conflict
make: *** [dcrt0.o] Error 1

Erasing `const' works, but I don't understand, what happens.
Is it a bug or am I too dull or what?
