Nick,
A possibly unforeseen side-effect has resulted from the addition of
default-manifest support for PE targets. Usually, a simple
'[$target-]ld --verbose' without any other arguments prints the linker
script but does not create a file. However, with the new Cygwin
binutils (20140326 snapshot), an a.exe file is created. I presume this
was not intentional. Could the previous behaviour be restored (IOW do
not include default-manifest.o if there is nothing else to link)?
