- Subject: Compiling gcc for cygwin
I figured I would take the liberty of informing anyone from the cygwin
community that might not be on the gcc mailing lists. After a recent
merge of the "tuples" branch of gcc to the mainline gcc, gcc stopped
being compilable by the 3.4.4 compiler that comes with cygwin. There
are two bugs for this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37086
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37091
They have both been closed as invalid.
If cygwin ever wants to be able to support newer gcc compilers,
something needs to be done in this area. There are several options,
and I am not advocating one over another. I am instead just making
sure that the cygwin community is informed of the current state of gcc
4.4.
