Hello David,

I'm a little bit confused now.
i got the gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz from a ftp-server.
(and also used that file to make my m68k-coff on my linuxbox.)
So this source-code is already in 'unix'(linux) format, i guess.

Does _cygwin-gcc_ expect <cr><lf> at the end of a line in the sourcecode or
does it expect just the <lf> ?
In the first case, i should rather seek for a unix2dos utility which changes
all <lf> to <cr><lf>'s.

OR (if it's the other way around), does winzip *change* the source-code
while
it is unpacking to <cr><lf> while cygwin expects <lf>

The mounting doesn't seem to work after i do a "mkdir /gcc-src".

Usage: mount [OPTION] [<win32path> <posixpath>]
  -b, --binary                  text files are equivalent to binary files
                                (newline = \n)
  -c, --change-cygdrive-prefix  change the cygdrive path prefix to
<posixpath>
  -f, --force                   force mount, don't warn about missing mount
                                point directories
  -i, --import-old-mounts copy  old registry mount table mounts into the
current

                                mount areas
  -p, --show-cygdrive-prefix    show user and/or system cygdrive path prefix
  -s, --system                  add mount point to system-wide registry
location

  -t, --text       (default)    text files get \r\n line endings
  -u, --user       (default)    add mount point to user registry location
  -x, --executable              treat all files under mount point as
executables

  -X, --cygwin-executable       treat all files under mount point as cygwin
                                executables

I'll start searching for a recursive unix2dos tool that can 
change all the files in the (sub)directories. 
But why doesn't the mount work? It looks (syntax) to be ok...
