Argh. Try hacking out the 'register' and '__asm ("%eax")' from the declaration of the 'ret' variable on line 59. Send me the generated thread.s file offlist after finishing the build with --save-temps in the CFLAGS and I'll check that the codegen is correct. (Haven't used 3.x to build the DLL in ages myself.) cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
