Hi Pierre, yup - you are right, Mr Egle's eye. The manual mounts I created had a typo - but the cygwin inst wiped them anyways .
yup, you are right again: there was a trailing backslash in my cygwin root. But that had been there since my first cygwin days (fall 2001). Has there been a change in behavour between cygwin 1.5.10.x and earlier versions? This tiny little backslash caused my a couple of days grief! thank you so much. finally I'm now able to compile and link again! H. "Pierre A.
