Then you’re artificially making rebase’s job harder. The list of 32-bit-only Cygwin packages is tiny these days, and you’ve just rebuilt your Cygwin environment. With my new find-cyg-roots script, you could rebuild your current 32-bit environment under Cygwin 64 quickly. That should prevent the reoccurrence of the rebase problem. > Windows itself also > uses lots of 32-bit components even under Win-64.

Microsoft under Nadella feels a whole lot different than Microsoft under Ballmer to me. Sure he’s steering a large ship, but he *is* moving it. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
