Hallole Gerrit, I was not trying to build gcc & kin, but rather just use it to build the suite of software I've been working on over the years.
There was one hickup with g++ under heavy duty optimization, for which I filed a bug report (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=954656&group_id=2435&atid=102435). Danny Smith said he fixed the problem and send the patch back to the mainstream gcc folks. Performancewise I had mixed success (compared with executables compiled under gcc 3.3.1 cygwin -mno-cygwin). Some are significantly slower, some are significantly faster (+/- 50%) than under 3.3.1. There were many issues, though, I had to deal with in order to be able to compile the code under mingw in the first place (see the posts I made around 5th of may 2004). If you are interested in details of the workarounds, let me know! grusel, H. p.s. in my university days I knew a Frank Haase from Berlin; are you related to him? "Gerrit P.
