Re: jikes 1.22 Cygwin package fails to build GNU Classpath

[Paul Jenner <psj at harker dot dyndns dot org>]

Hi.

The maintainers of GNU Classpath try to keep it buildable on Cygwin but
have received at least one bug report [1] for it not building due to the
Cygwin jikes issue raised below.

Would the Cygwin jikes package maintainer consider integrating the
referenced patch into the package as it does appear to resolve a real
issue on Cygwin?

Thanks,

Paul
