Doesn't that affect applications which use something like extern int optind; in their code? Kai did quite a job to get this working on x86_64 by implementing the medium/large code models for x86_64, and Cygwin's x86_64 gcc uses the medium code model by default. Disabling this again would be rather counterproductive. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
