I suspect this may be because gcc has managed to pick up the Cygwin ld instead of the mingw one.
Monique - what exactly is your PATH? What happens when you say 'ld --version'?
'ld --version' doesn't show differences between mingw/cygwin, does it?
and even the mingw ld apparently sets its search_dirs without drive letters:
$ type -ap ld
/cygdrive/c/MinGW/bin/ld
$ ld --verbose | head
GNU ld version 2.16.91 20050827
Supported emulations:
i386pe
using internal linker script:
==================================================
/* Default linker script, for normal executables */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(pei-i386)
SEARCH_DIR("/mingw/mingw32/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("/mingw/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib");
SEARCH_DIR("/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib");
ENTRY(_mainCRTStartup)
SECTIONS
and, even under a cygwin bash calling a mingw ld, this won't work if we're not
on the drive on which /mingw was installed:
$ pwd
/cygdrive/d
$ ld /mingw/lib/crt2.o -M | grep OUTPUT
c:\MinGW\bin\ld.exe: /mingw/lib/crt2.o: No such file: No such file or
directory
whereas:
$ cd c:
$ ld /mingw/lib/crt2.o -M | grep OUTPUT
..
OUTPUT(a.exe pei-i386)
