Re: c++/4479 can't build gcc-3.0.1 under cygwin


I am happy as long as:

1. Somebody has rolled the neccessary fixes into the main trunk
2. There is some public place where instructions for doing this successfully
can be found. What about the next poor schmo that comes along?

Thanks for responding graciously to my many stabs-in-the-dark on this one,

Dave
