which require special functionality like a DOS-path-resistant make.
Ah, but you're assuming that the app itself is *recompiled* so that it
links a different crt0.o. I interpreted your statement:
"The advantage being that the executable could run in
an MSYS and a Cygwin environment, whatever it happens
to be dropped into."
to mean "the exact same binary". That misunderstanding is what led to
most of the confusion below.
My point is, I don't think *that* would work, for all the reasons I
detailed.
