As I said, I scanned the Michael> archive but without luck. I have the answer for the second part Wolfgang Ocker posted the following mail About two weeks ago I reported problems when running gnuwin32 compiled programs under NT (NT refused to start them). I've found a partial solution: the linker option -S causes the linker to omit the .stab and .stabstr (debug info) sections from the binary ... and voila, the programs run! NT seems not to like these sections. Jean-Philippe C. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
