At this point, I'd recommend to perform a cygwin update; with Cygwin,
these problems often go away with an update.
I updated Cygwin and did a rebaseall before posting.
If that doesn't help, you can ask on the Cygwin list also; to analyse
this further, ISTM one will need to debug the internals of cygwin.
I posted on Cygwin before asking here.
One thing you could try is to add -v to the list of gcc options;
you can then see whether gcc is progressing correctly.
I'll do that, though I have reason to believe the gcc *is* terminating
and _spawn_posix isn't detecting the end of the process. At the very
least we should get another test out of this dreadfully irritating bug.
Thanks again for looking at this.
A further data point (sorry, I've not had a lot of time to look at
this). Building Python from the trunk at rev 57076 yielded a system that
*would* cleanly build the same release of PIL. This is somewhat annoying
because it appears to put the bug in the past where there's less
incentive to investigate it. But I may find time to take a look.
Hardly worth it if I'm the only one noticing the issue, though.
regards
Steve
