Nope, no such luck. Also, the libstdc++ patch has really done for compiling it with gcc-3, which doesn't support the weak attribute. It also has a bug that for some reason two of the wrapper functions in libstdcxx_malloc.cc are emitted under their real names, rather than the asm("__real__*") name specified. There's also the inline asm bug and there's a number of other warnings about type conversions. All of these could in theory be worked around. We could compile the files using the inline asm with -O0, and fix the type conversion warnings(*), and we would have to work around the lack of support for weaks in the compiler by providing the definition of the __cygwin_cxx_malloc struct in assembler source, and probably the same for the wrapper function names, but I'm not inclined to do so unless there's serious demand for it. cheers, DaveK -- (*) - actually, I'll send patches for those anyway.
