setup/symlinks/gcc/chown question

[Karl M]

Hi All...

Attached is the output of

strace -o outfile chown -h administrators.none collect2.exe

executed in

/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4

after having reinstalled gcc/mingw tools.

I am using Cygwin chown. (I did mention it in my last email, but it is easy 
to miss.)

Thanks,

...Karl
