I agree, and I read the threads about that there on mingw.org. I don't see a good chance that it get fixed soon there. Nevertheless is the msys-environment the only way to do a full bootstrap of native gcc toolchain, so I would simply love to have this work-a-rounded it in gcc. But well, I won't die if it isn't. ;) > Adding $f may cause command line limitations on some platforms, so I'd rather > avoid that. Yes, understood. But some lines down in Makefile we use LN_S with same pathes, but with filenames on all two arguments. So I think this fear might be without reason here. (see section "Copy new target dependent sources"). Regards, Kai
