If that doesn't work, feel free to borrow: https://github.com/cygwinports/binutils/blob/master/2.24.51-shared-libs.patch However, these libraries are (by design) API-unstable, so is not recommended to allow other code to link against these shared libs, therefore I would also suggest: https://github.com/cygwinports/binutils/blob/master/binutils.cygport#L30-L38 > > Hoping it will note ages again.... > > "NOT take" > > dropping the target seems to work very well > > current version > $ du -sb /usr/bin/gprof.exe > 5424147 /usr/bin/gprof.exe > > under build > $ du -sb gprof/gprof.exe > 19968 gprof/gprof.exe > > any clue why we are using a "enable-targets=all" options ? Not sure, but if it's just so that 32-bit utils can read 64-bit binaries (which is useful), --enable-targets=x86_64-pep should be enough. > Any cross compiler should use its own binutils not the cygwin one, correct ?
