This patch breaks native bootstrap on mingw systems that use cygwin1.dll-dependent bash and development tools. As such, that would be a regression against all versions of gcc since at least 2.95.3 The ' CMD //c' (with 2 slashes preceding the switch rather than the one documented for cmd by Micrsosoft) is a MSYS-ism that causes problems with non-MSYS shells (including the one provided by MS in its SFU package) GCC corrently bootstaps just fine (with or without the earlier abs_srcdir patch) on mingw using the cygwin bash shell, make and configure. Using cygwin shell rather than the MSYS shell means that DejaGnu testsuite can be run. The last time I checked this was not possible. with MSYS. Danny
