CF> Have you compared the numbers against 1.3.2 by any chance?

just did it. make in newlib/libm/common/ (after make clean) takes
(approximately):

from 0:16:00 to 0:16:30 with 1.3.2
from 0:14:30 to 0:15:00 with my locally built cygwin1.dll
from 0:32:00 to 0:34:00 with current CVS build
from 0:17:00 to 0:17:30 with "current CVS - /etc/passwd reread" build

the problem is that i cannot easily restore sources which was used to
build that "locally built cygwin1.dll" :(

no. i'm sorry, but i have to go home now. it's already 00:15 here in
Moscow, and i'm afraid i can miss the last train. i'll take a look at
this tomorrow.
