Hi,

I've submitted a patch that was committed as r227962, it causes some
unintended side effects (namely libuuid on Cygwin). Can someone please
revert?

Kai still needs some time to setup his gcc development environment.

We'd need to have a better sense of why this is causing problems.  If
Kai could chime in with a description of the problem it would be helpful.


Normally, /usr/lib is searched BEFORE /usr/lib/w32api. The patch caused
w32api to be searched before /usr/lib.

libuuid.a is known to exist in both directories, with the *nix version
in /usr/lib and the import library for Windows in w32api. The w32api
copy is completely unrelated to the *nix version. This break cygwin apps
that expect to link against *nix libuuid.

So if we make this change (revert 227962), my understanding is thatcygwin bootstraps will fail because they won't find kernel32 and perhapsother libraries.
