Infact, I'm not building on cygwin at all...
Here are some interesting facts about my build worth noting: 1)It was done via a cross-compiler on a linux box 2)I was using gcc built from the mingw_cygwin_gcc_3.1 branch of the gcc cvs tree as of 06/22 3)I was using the latest binutils built from the binutils cvs sources as of 06/22 I wonder if this has anything to do with it???
