Well, what the -DREENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED does is to compile newlib so that guaranteed reentrant versions of certain system calls are provided, with a "_r" tacked on to their names. E.g. gmtime() and gmtime_r(). localtime() and localtime_r(). And when I run "nm /usr/lib/libc.a | grep _r", I see these entry points. So on a wild guess, yes, I'd say that the cygwin newlib has been compiled with -DREENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED. -- Shankar. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
