No, I am comming from a Debian/Ubuntu background where it simply worked. Now I try to port Gentoo to Cygwin and it doesn't always work. So I have to dig a little deeper to get it working, asking myself what makes theese working while others break. Thank you very much for all extensive hints. Unfortunately Cygwin is not ELF but PE/COFF so all ELF debugging tools do not help. I even have to tweak an eclasses where it relies on scanelf. Al
