Cygwin already has --large-address-aware enabled, without an option to disable it. That makes sense, considering that Cygwin targets Unix programs, unlikely to have Windows-specific pointer assumptions. That's why I phrased the option, and implemented it, as specific to mingw. Now, if you wish it to affect Cygwin as well, I could implement that, and drop -mingw from the option name. I'd retain the current defaults of each target, unless there's a strong reason to change them. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo Be the change, be Free!
