I don't know how Cygwin handles it (maybe I should download some source packages - I'll), but the Linux distributions seem to just split it without recompiling the whole thing various times with --enable-languages=c++ (you don't need to specify c), then --enable-languages=c++,java etc. An example which works and may help Gerrit (I use the resulting C and C++ packages) is the 3.3.1 script from Slackware - http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-current/testing/source/gcc-3.3.1/gcc.SlackBuild I guess Cygwin doesn't need a separate C++ package. Space matters when you enable all languages. In the above, the resulting .tgz packages use 9.116.303 bytes for C and C++, and more 21.065.308 for the other languages.
