Re: [fortinj@ibm.net: New snapshots]


The original problem that you reported was due to the fact that DJ's machine
was producing incorrect binaries.  That should be corrected except that now
we're seeing other problems in building the cygwin utilities.  When that's
resolved a new snapshot should appear.

In the meantime if you haven't updated egcs to a snapshot you should still be
able to build a copy of cygwin.
