--- Comment #2 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
I have uploaded a potential fix for the problem.  Please give it a try.

I am uncertain as to whether this is the right thing to do however.  Maybe it
would be better to rethink the whole
linker-is-responsible-for-adding-the-default-manifest idea.  IMHO it would be
better if gcc/libgcc did this - after all it already has the multilib mechanism
in place and it already builds files like crt0.o and crtend.o.  Why not add
default-manifest.o to the list ?  The answer, as I understand it, is that the
cygwin developers want the manifest added even if gcc is not used to link the
application.  So maybe it is time to impose a requirement to use gcc to link
all cygwin and mingw binaries ?

Cheers
  Nick
