On second thought, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. I understand if certain parts of Cygwin for aarch64 may not work right from the start, and stuff like an option to exclude cygserver from the build for the time being sounds ok to me. But the code gendef generates is pretty crucial for Cygwin's operation. I don't quite see how being able to build a completely disfunctional DLL is going to help during bootstrap. Can you please explain how you're planning to go forward from here, so we can all understand if and why this patch makes sense during bootstrap? Thanks, Corinna
