Same as above, until someone provides a recipe to reproduce this problem with a small testcase we have to hope that the cygwin developers accidentally find and fix this problem. (Un-)fortunately I could never reproduce this problem. <snip> > Question > ======== > 1) I hope somebody will be able to examine the output from configure and > probably that from bootstrap.
