Hi All, this is just an info for other mantainers and users on gcc-4.3.2-2.
As reported by David announcment http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-03/msg00378.html the current standard is "linked statically against libgcc". I found a case where CC="gcc-4 -shared-libgcc" is absolutely needed and CC=gcc-4 does not work. With hdf5-1.6.8 in both cases the compilation is fine but during "make check" if CC=gcc-4 is used the test of I/O drivers crashes very bad and moreover it cripples the underlying cygwin1.dll. I need a restart to be able to perform again the test with any version. I suppose it is an exception handling issues, and it applies to both 1.5 and 1.7 cygwin versions. Currently I am rebuilding all my cygwin-1.7 packages with CC="gcc-4 -shared-libgcc" and I have not yet found problems.
