Re: yikes, what are these?


Hello,

Yes, I had to build one of the recent egcs snapshots from sources but it
was quite painless. I used Jan 15 cygwin snapshot -- it might have made 
the trick -- and Mumit Khan's egcs-1.1.2 on the top of WinNT 4.0 sp5.  

To have the same directory structure as clean B20.1 installation I run
configure scripts using i586-cygwin32 as host parameter.

BTW, you can take gcc-2.95 dev snapshot binaries from Mumit Khan's site.

Regards,
Vadim
