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.
