Please, let's not complicate this. The only thing required is a check for -mwin32. I'm not sure what all of the fuss is about. autoconf is a method for determining system configurations and oddities. If a package maintainer wants to write a configure.in which automatically detects when it is running on Windows, using a cygwin version of gcc to build things, I don't see why he shouldn't have a macro to accomodate the oddities of cygwin gcc. If this kind of macro isn't available in some fashion, then we leave every package maintainer to reimplement the check in their own fashion. To me, that is counter to what autoconf is all about. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
