This works without error or warning. Is it possible,
that the problem is a result of my configuring for
  i586-pc-cygwin32?
  ^^^^

The same doesn't happen with `cc1plus' from cygwin cdkb20a1,
which seems to contain the patches and is configured for
  i386-pc-cygwin32
  ^^^^

I will now recompile egcs1.1b _with_ the patches and for
  i586...

Let's see, what takes place.
