Indeed. The last time I reported problems about cygwin there I was a) told 
to report it somewhere else, because I wasn't sure where the problem 
originated; and b) told some of the problems must be brokenness in my 
installation. So to prevent a reoccurence in future, I (well, Bart 
actually in this case) are unlikely to be reporting any problems in future 
to the cygwin list unless and until we have a full bug report and fix 
already prepared. Of course, this may mean the report is delayed.

The "easily corrected" one is: 
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01781.html> or 
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00958.html> or several 
other posts, the "fix" being to do the chmod in /usr/bin. This only 
affects existing cygwin users that upgrade AFAIK.

The second problem is an internal compiler error on Windows 98 with an 
i386-elf-gcc that we have built that works fine on NT/W2K and cygwin 
1.3.19 [1]. We haven't finished investigating this.

1.3.18 appears to work for us in all cases, but isn't available for 
download any more.

Jifl
[1] But we can't use 1.3.19 because of that required vasprintf fix for 
using GDB.
