Re: Available for test: gcc-3.1.1-2 gcc2-2.95.3-8

There's a problem compiling the cygwin_daemon branch with the gcc
3.1.1 compiler as Nicholas discovered today.  In particular, gcc
can't find the <new> header file, which I need for the placement
new operator.  This used to be in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/.../include/
but is now in /usr/include/c++/3.1.1/.  Can I add this include
path to the makefile now?  I can't see that it'll break anything
with gcc 2.X (as this include directory didn't exist previously).

[Nb. In case something has changed here, note that I'm using other
than the latest release of the gcc 3.1.1 compiler:
    gcc                 3.1.1-1
    gcc-mingw           3_1-20020516-1 ]

No, not a good idea. gcc-3.1.1-2 fixed this behavior, I think. Plus, there's a gcc-3.1.1-3 coming out soon, so just chill, for now. A g++ compiler that doesn't automatically include the directory where its own stdc++ library header files are stored is a broken g++ compiler and needs to be fixed in g++ itself -- not band-aiding every C++ program on earth.
