linking on win95

["op Span" <op_span at macmail dot psy dot uva dot nl>]

Still a problem:

at linktime any(**) program makes the linker (ld) go into a endless loop.

I have cygwin32 b18 installed, mumit's binaries installed, sergei's
cygwin.dll installed. 

I have the output of env, gcc -v and make (of a sample) included.

the sample is c++, but a simple 'helloworld.c' has the same effect.

ps gives no processes whatsoever.
