Fixed, thanks.

Ok, the fun starts here. The problem is that the configure script
checks for the exectuable bit on the generated RISC OS binary. Anyway,
probably unlike most setups, my WinXP setup is under FAT32, not NTFS. I
forget if my machine came that way or not, but certainly it didn't used
to be possible to read/write NTFS very well from Linux (on its other
partition) which is why it's still that way. These days you can use
fuse + ntfs3g from Linux.
In any case, the +x bit and file permissions in general aren't fully
supported when using Cygwin under FAT32. So the lesson here is that
GCCSDK under Cygwin using FAT32 probably isn't going to work (unless we
add in some additional hacks). In the mean time, I'm off to convert my
drive to NTFS, which might even cause compiles to be faster.
Alan + Adam - you should be able to build Firefox and Gnash as is
(mostly likely you don't have my dilemma) - care to try?
Thanks.
