With the September snapshots, the following code: ------------------------------------------------ // hello_tst.cpp
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello, world!" << endl; return 0; } ------------------------------------------------- works when it is built with g++ 3.4.4-1: $ g++ hello_tst.cpp $ ./a Hello, world! but if it is built with another compiler, Borlandc 5.5, it does not work: $ bcc32 hello_tst.cpp Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland hello_tst.cpp: Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland $ ./hello_tst.exe bash: ./hello_tst.exe: Argument list too long The test code works in any case (g++, bcc5.5) with Cygwin 1.5.18-1 and with the snapshots before that which truncated the command line arguments to 32k (these snaps now are not more present in the list of snaps, only those >= 20050906 are present). This mean that with current snapshots or with the next release of Cygwin one cannot run from Cygwin applications that were built with other NON-Cygwin compilers ???
