Yes but i have reinstalled it and gcc several times and still no better

This was the result of a bad merge that I missed the result .# File on.  I 
usually check for these.  In this case the merge code was still there along 
with some other files that still had merge code.  I cleaned them up, still 
could not get to compile and reinstalled gcc and gcc-mingw and deleted all my 
source config* files and Make* files and reupdated from cvs to get them back.  
Still no luck.

When I try to configure setup (not build, just  configure) I get this on the 
screen still even after the above:

+ /usr/develop/src/cygwin-apps/setup/configure -C --enable-dependencies 
--disabl
e-shared --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin CC=gcc -mno-cygwin 
CXX=g+

$

In checking the config.log now it would appear the pertinent part is:

configure:2044: checking for C++ compiler default output
configure:2047: g++ -mno-cygwin    conftest.cc  >&5
g++: installation problem, cannot exec 
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.2/../
./../../i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ld.exe': Invalid argument
configure:2050: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 2027 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

int
main ()
{

  ;
  return 0;
}
configure:2077: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
check `config.log' for details.


Yes i686-pc-mingw32 exists and contains 3 directories which are linked to other 
directories.  The bin directory is linked to ../i686-pc-cygwin/bin and in this 
directory there is an ld.exe and all users have execute privilige.


When I try to configure the build for cygwin (not even build it) I get this on 
the screen:

+ /usr/develop/src/configure --enable-debugging --host=i686-pc-cygwin 
--build=i6
86-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-cygwin --enable-haifa --prefix=/usr 
--exec-prefix=
/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/nonexistent/include
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking target system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking build system type... i686-pc-cygwin

and the process hangs.  If I check the Process stack from another window 
running rxvt and a bash shell I get this:

$ ps -ef 
     UID     PID    PPID TTY     STIME COMMAND
  briank    1328       1   1  11:06:30 /usr/bin/bash

  briank    1412    1692   2  11:14:01 /usr/bin/ps

$ 

The above I have to kill manually and if I check the config.log I simply see 
the following:

$ less config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:578: checking host system type
configure:599: checking target system type
configure:617: checking build system type
config.log (END)

 Thanks for any assistance
