Are these cross compilers mature? I would think that if they produce binaries that need libgcc_s_sjhj-1.dll, it, or whatever package that contains it, would be identified as something the cross compilers depend on. I do know that that dll is not to ne found on any of my machines. I guess I may have to live with the cygwin/bin directory being added at the end of the PATH environmental variable.
