Yes, I do use Msys and MinGW, but right now with an old version (MinGW-3.1.0). I have found some other problems (mostly around GCC for MingW), which fixes I intend to report soon to GCC team; but I almost sure that these (although very simple) will be less obvious to get accepted than this one.
BTW, I have (many) other problems with the ::blank:: in autotools paths for Windows that I discussed some months ago with automake people. No solution for now, so that I have forbidden this character in Windows paths for using autotools (which seems to be a "real" problem for people used to Windows).
Thanks,
Eric

The configure generated script crashes when called via "config.status --recheck": ../src/configure: config.log: Permission deniedThe reason is that config.log cannot be truncated by configure because config.status already opened it (and Windows forbids truncating an open file). Here is the fix (tested on Windows/MinGW).Thanks for the report and the patch. It is remarkable that this has never come up before. You use the MinGW compilers; do you use the MSYS shell and tools to run `configure', or something else? What version?
