It seems that applying the patch only, without rebuilding GCC works (the
ROOt, a CERN application, problems seem solved).

In any case for the sake of completeness I have rebuild GCC following the
indications of gcc-core-3.4.4-1.README etc..

In the build the gcc-3.4.4-1.sh scrip fails with '&& )', removing '&& \'
it works.

Alternatively I have changed #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/ash and it works too.

In both cases I have commented out the row ' mountpwd' that extracts the
file and/or directory with uppercase name substituted by ASCII values
(e.g. README ==> %52%45%41%44%4D%45)

I note some anomalies:

   - the library libgphobos.a is not built; this causes
     
          gcc-3.4.4-1.sh pre_pkg

     to fail in moving libgphobos.a to the right direcory for packaging.

     This causes cc1d.exe not moved in the appropriate directory for
     packaging.

   - 'gcc-3.4.4-1.sh install' installs libfrtbegin.a and libg2c.a in
     usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin instead that in
     usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4. Note that

         gcc[newbuild].exe -print-file-name=libfrtbegin.a 

     gives
     /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/libfrtbegin.a 


    
What is wrong in all this?

May the GCC mantainer say something?



Cheers,

   Angelo.
