It may be too soon to expect this to work, but I'm trying to build
emacs for 64-bit Cygwin. Part of the build process involves direct
manipulation of a .exe file, based on the structures defined in
/usr/include/a.out.h. I'm wondering whether this file needs to be
updated before it will work with 64-bit .exe files.
Yes, absolutely!
It's not very tricky. AFAIK only a single header part is different, the
one called IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER in MSDN. Given the age of a.out.h,
there are also a couple of defines missing, all of them are documented
in MSDN and available in the Mingw headers. Patches most welcome.
OK, I'll work on this. One question: Is it OK for a.out.h to include
windows.h so that I can use macros like WORD, DWORD,... as in the Mingw
headers? Or is it better to just use standard types as in the current
a.out.h?
