Cygwin 1.5.21 execvp fails when Windows PATH has empty element

A Cygwin program run from cmd.exe fails to invoke another Cygwin via the PATH, when the PATH contains an empty entry. A Windows PATH environment variable might contain adjacent ; characters, as in c:\dir1;;c:\dir2. This is normally a harmless error. (For most Windows programs, an empty entry in

Re: Help: gcc problem in Cygwin!

Larry, Thanks for your quick reply! I installed the latest version of Cygwin, and almost all packages which includes 'binutils' package. I checked and found 'ld' in the path: (1) cygwin\bin\ld.exe (678 kb), and (2) cygwin\usr\i686-pc-cygwin\bin\ld.exe (1 kb). Is this normal? I did a quick search
