What is the output of cygcheck /your/path/gcc.exe and what are the permissions of *all* the shared libraries gcc.exe depends on? > Anyways, I'm finding the build from scratch very rough. ;) If you compile gcc yourself, do you use the 3 stage bootstrap? Since the actual compiler is compiled with itself then, it should work if the build succeeds in stage 1 and stage 2, and it if there is s.th. wrong you even cannot finish the build of the new gcc. > This is all giving me headaches, and suggests to me strongly that people who release > cygwin packages are doing special interactive things (making 'magic happen') and > relying > on binary builds to cover up the interactive magic.

I basically just followed the recommended way to build gcc: $ mkdir build-gcc $ cd build-gcc $ ../gcc-src/configure --options ... $ make $ make install See my script included in the gcc-core-3.3.1-3-src.tar.bz2 package about the details. > And who's the maintainer for the cygwin version of gcc, anyways?
