Thanks.  I really need to look into getting a high speed Linux setup.  I
really only have one computer fast enough for building GCC, and there
really isn't enough disk space availible for Linux.

Yes.  I just mount every top-level directory that I care about so that I
can use simply "/my/path" and have that single path format work in all
of Cygwin, MSYS, MinGW, and native Windows.  It makes everything so much
