It looks like you got this backwards. It is setting gl_cv_func_malloc_posix=yes on mingw, no on cygwin, whereas it is only mingw that is not posix-compliant. > --- lib/malloc.c 9 Sep 2007 13:01:44 -0000 1.11 > --- 16,54 ---- > along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, > Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. */ > > ! /* written by Jim Meyering and Bruno Haible */ > > #include <config.h> > ! /* Only the AC_FUNC_MALLOC macro defines 'malloc' already in config.h. */ > ! #ifdef malloc > ! # define NEED_MALLOC_GNU > ! # undef malloc > ! #endif With the result that on cygwin, rpl_malloc ended up being instantiated, and calling itself in infinite recursion, making it impossible to malloc anything. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
