That's a red herring. > -- The C compiler identification is GNU 16.1.1 First off, the Cygwin compiler is 14.4.0. If you've did an "install all test packages" just to save figuring out which ones you actually need, you need to correct that. > Compiling fish-gettext-mo-file-parser v0.0.0 > (/home/Andrew/dev/cygwin/fish/fish-4.8.1-1.x86_64/src/fish-4.8.1/crates/gettext-mo-file-parser) > 0 [main] rustc 5771 child_info_fork::abort: > \??\C:\cygwin64\bin\cygintl-8.dll: Loaded to different address: > parent(0x170000) != child(0xA20000) There's your real problem: something needs rebasing and is currently occupying the same spot that an external part of the libc (which is used by the linker) would need to be placed into. Both addresses are suspiciously low, though, so it's possible you may have a BLODA problem there. > error: could not exec the linker `x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc` …due to the fork failing. My guess is that similarly to what I need to do for Perl XS distributions rustc needs to do an ephemeral rebase after building a new crate.
