Hi Shachar, Interesting problem. Here are some thoughts: Can you control the level of optimization used by the customer? Does -O0 create identical object code? What are the differences in code? Perhaps they're related to the different paths? (If the lengths of the paths are different, and they're stored somewhere in the object code, that'll change the results) You might also want to compare the assembly-language output (-S) to narrow down the problem. If the customer needs cygwin for internal use, I'd suggest using a virtualization solution such as VirtualBox instead - the integration with Windows is quite impressive. Cheers, Rony

Hi all, I'm having a weird problem at a client's. They need a toolchain for both Windows (cygwin) and Linux. What's more, then need the two toolchains to match exactly - given identical source code, the toolchains must produce the exact same machine code (tested by doing objdump -d and diffing the outputs). The toolchains are for bare metal power-pc (powerpc-eabi target). [...]
