Or maybe you could read the cygwin email archives where this observation has been made more than once. Or, maybe you could read the online documentation where this option is mentioned. It's obviously an oversight in the help output. It's corrected in the sources but I'm not going to make a new cygwin release just to fix the cygcheck help. I wasn't berating you for not doing the right thing. I was merely explaining YA that there was a more efficient way to do this. >Anyway I'm more interrested in getting my gcc back alive.
