Heh, yes, I know.

We used to have a gpc build and then it got dropped and when I took over gcc maintainership I threw together a newer version. It's entirely possible I did something wrong, although it passes most of the gpc testsuite: === gpc tests === Running target any Running testsuite ...

I don't know what the problem is, so please do report back what you find out from the pascal list and if there's a bug in the way I ported the newer gpc to gcc-3.3.3, I'll fix it. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
