RE: strange behavior regarding new cygwin 1.3.3 and cmd.exe



CL.exe and LINK.EXE are from Microsoft products (Developers Studio) and  Jam
is not a part of XFree86, therefore unfortunately, we may have no idea what
are doing... which makes your JAM call M$ VC++ Compilers executables... Only
thing I can suggest get rid of VC++ from your path if you added it to Cygwin
path... rest you are on your own, because none of those products has any
thing to do with XFree86 and XFree86 executables do not make calls to
execute M$ VC++ executables.  Sorry
