Compiling cygwin1.dll

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Michael Wild!

My question is: do you actually need to rebuild it, or you just need the debug
symbols?

> DJ (https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-02/msg00067.html),
> "attempts to build the old binutils/gdb in CVS are going to be
> doomed". Apparently the development of these packages is now tracked
> in a separate git repo. So, my question is now, how do I get a working
> build for the cygwin DLL? Do I have to replace binutils/gdb in the CVS
> checkout with the git checkout?

> How are the current snapshots built?

> Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
