I'm just reporting second-hand what I heard from someone who I trust to know what they're talking about, who mentioned it briefly without providing examples and I didn't ask. And I didn't even report it correctly; he didn't say "linux distros", he just said "some systems". http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-10/msg00483.html Reading it again, by "some", he could even just have meant "cygwin". Dunno, will ask. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
