Tony> i submitted the patches above to the cygwin mailing list. I haven't built a Linux-x-Cygwin toolchain in a long, long time (three years at least). I don't remember it being such a problem, but I had a unified tree and I didn't try to build libgcj. In fact libgcj didn't exist when I did it. I think the above is probably best. I imagine at the current moment it is easier to try to build natively on Cygwin than it is to do a cross, especially for libgcj. I haven't built any libgcj cross in a couple years, and even then it was to a relatively simple target (a MIPS port using newlib), not to another host. Tom
