Apologies for the delay in responding. Life's pretty hectic right
now.

The problem has to do with symbols from libgcc.a, which binds to
Cygwin DLL (specifically __impure_ptr that gets pulled in from
stdio in libgcc(_eh.o)).

I've sent Chris a patch that in theory should be able to work around
this issue.  However, I couldn't get sourceware CVS to respond, so
have to wait till tomorrow to check it in, unless Chris gets to it
first.

Here's the patch:

2000-03-14  Mumit Khan  <khan AT xraylith DOT wisc DOT edu>

	* Makefile.in (MINGW_CFLAGS): Add -fno-exceptions.
	* strace.cc (_impure_ptr): New global variable to make strace
	build under Cygwin gcc.
