Fixing the state of C++ in Cygwin


Currently in Cygwin, C++ apps using libtool will fail to build for some reason due to sed 4.1.5 - you have to downgrade to 4.1.4, which is not the default being installed. C++ programs are also affected by gcc bug #24196[1] (passing std::string between exes and dlls), which causes hard to track down crashes.

I'd like to help get these fixed in Cygwin, but I'm not sure how to help out. It seems the tasks to be done are:

1) Set sed 4.1.4 as the default until the reason 4.1.5 causes libtool failures is fixed.

2) Integrate the patch in gcc bug #24196 to Cygwin's build of gcc.

Could you point me in the right direction as to who to contact to help get these taken care of?
