I look at both patcher the frist one the "GCC-v4.1-r120189-CreateFileMapping-Vista.patch" is most correct one in my eyes. if you reading how CreateFileMapping works, at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366537.aspx I interper it the text as u always need to use "local\\name" to support more that one user. we need rember that apps can get admin right in NT 2003 and down when they runs so they where allown to use NULL in the last param and gain admins right in vista this is not posible any longer, letting program getting admin right when user have limit right. so now all program need follow the api to proper Now we looking at the second patch the host-mingw32.c.diff I have not tested it in vista or windows yet. But what I can see it using vritualalloc that mean it alloc memory and getting allot slower against FileMapping we talking about allot extra comping time, and it is not a good idea for big project like reactos, and another thing the swap file will incress and windows does not always cleanup stuff in the swapfile until a reboot, that is few big disages with host-mingw32.c.diff it exists allot other disgante over it also. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30335
