Ok, Earnie, I withdraw all of my efforts. I've wiped out the directory
in the mingw repository.
If you recall, you promised to get me a mingw libstdc++.a back in November
of 2000. Back then, we discussed the fact that I didn't want to go through
the effort of a complete build for this and you mentioned that you were
going to give me something to release.
However, at that time, we also discussed that I should just let you do
the releases. I agree that you should take over the release of w32api
and mingw. I won't mention it in my next cygwin release.
Please *do* however release at least w32api ASAP. And, also, *please*
resolve this mingw g++ issue. -mno-cygwin is getting a bad rap just
because I've been waiting for ten months for someone to provide me with
a workable libstdc++.a. I guess my original reason for not just doing
this was because I didn't want to step on anyone's toes and it seems like
I must have done that here.
So, I'm relieved to pass this on to you. I really do think that it is
important that the -mno-cygwin/libstdc++ issue is resolved ASAP, though.
