This is a generic problem in gcc. You should probably file a bug report at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi . You might want to first investigate if this problem is fixed in a later version of gcc, however. Or, you could start a discussion at the gcc mailing list gcc at gcc dot gnu dot org . -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
