:) But I think the real solution would be for someone to package elfutils for cygwin. https://www.cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html That way people that need the elfutils tools on windows can just get them through cygwin. It might not be a total solution for people needing to use the libraries when building for mingw with some other posix compatibility layer, but it seems the best solution for just getting the elfutils tools easily available on Windows. It would be great if we could get some volunteer for packaging elfutils for cygwin. Cheers, Mark
