Hi!

I have a problem in building strace.exe: gcc dies in linker stage.
I'm using gcc-2.95 with dev-ss tarball and it runs under winsup-990801.

The output is very less informative (to me):

gcc -o strace.exe -mno-cygwin -g -O2 -Wall -Wwrite-strings       -Wall
-Wwrite-s
trings       -I./../mingw/include -I./../include strace.cc
mingw_getopt.o -B../m
ingw/  -lnetapi32 -ladvapi32
strace.cc: In function `int error(int, const char *, ...)':
strace.cc:41: warning: `noreturn' function `error(int, const char *,
...)' does
return
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/2.95/libgcc.a(_eh.o)(.text+0x389):
undefined refe
rence to `_impure_ptr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm under the impression that I already saw this `_impure_ptr' error
once but I can't remember anymore.
I think, it's no coincidence that strace is a mingw file, maybe?

Bye,
Corinna
