Re: RFA: x86 backend: Add default-manifest to Cygwin/MinGW links


Hi Corinna,

However, we know that the act of merging will currently result in broken
resources in the executable.  Wouldn't it be better to apply the above
patch only after the resource merge fix?

No. Well not in my opinion. :-) The reason is that this patch only makes a difference if the default manifest can be found in a library search path. If there is none present then nothing happens. So you can disable the (broken) merging of a default manifest file by simply not having it present. Which should be the case for all current installations.

Plus - I am hoping to fix the resource merging problem soon. (Any day now, honest). So I would like to have the gcc patch in place for when that happens.

Cheers
  Nick
