That's because gcc-2.8.0+ uses the Registry, and you need to supply -ladvapi32 when bootstrapping the stage1 compiler. > > After commenting this stuff out (is that smart?)

If you want to use the Cygnus b19 pathnames, you need to configure things differently. % configure --prefix=/Cygnus/B19 \ --exec-prefix=/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32 \ --host=i386-cygwin32 The other choice is to use the pre-built egcs-1.0.2 distribution, which works just as well as 2.8.1, and possibly more stable under cygwin32 b19. Gives you everything, plus some cygwin32-specific fixes not in FSF gcc-2.8.x. If you want to stay with FSF gcc, you can always use egcs-1.0.2 to bootstrap it; that's what I do. See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for info on downloading it. I just sent out the announcement, but of course it'll take a week before it shows up on this.
