The recent change of installing coreutils with `link.exe' has introduced
a *new* problem with configurations using Microsoft Visual C++ with
Cygwin's GNU `make'. Previously, one could specify "LD=link" in a
Makefile, but now the corutils `link' will supplant Microsoft's linker,
breaking builds

Can anyone tell me what the purpose of the coreutils `link' program is?
It seems to just be a less functional version of `ln', so I don't know
why anyone would bother including it. It definately breaks my builds by
supplanting MSVC's `link' program in my path. I'd like to just remove
it from

Hi Bill,
Here's what I did to build gcc-3.4.3 with dwarf2 EH:
First, get the gcc sources (duh) and Danny Smith's
patch to support dwarf2 EH on cygwin:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-11/msg01989.html
The patch is meant for gcc-4.0 but it worked for me on
3.4.3.

Hi all,
I have a different Cygwin home directory than the common C:\Documents and

directory. setup.exe understands $HOME or ~ a
