Fw: Can't build egcs-20000417 with cygwin-1.1.0

[Tim Prince]

I have been building the snapshots by copying the definition of
INT_ASM_OP from the interix.h into cygwin.h.  I have no idea how
to complete the introduction of this macro for all
semi-supported targets.  Someone left this partly done and never
finished the job.

You must also correct libf2c/libU77/[de]time_.c for consistency
with the current Windows API emulations.

I have not been able to solve all the problems with the building
of .info files.  There are \r characters in one of the original
.texi files, and patch introduces \r when a .texi file is
patched.  Even when I have been able to fix it up so the .info
files get built automatically, they don't install correctly.
The short work-around, of course, is 'touch gcc/gcc.info
gcc/f/g77.info'

libobjc currently is broken, gcov has always been broken for
cygwin, chill is slightly broken (probably trivial).

In order to run testsuite, I remove dbz from the list of test
directories.  The tests there are designed to fail under cygwin,
and have no bearing on the test_summary reports.

I suppose Mumit Khan is the only person with enough credibility
to get fixes accepted.  I think his primary interest is to
support more Windows-specific capabilities than the gcc
maintainers are willing to accept.  Still, it would be great if
we could somehow get these basic patches in so that we can build
a standard compiler suite.

I've been unemployed for 7 weeks now and can't count on a good
solution, let alone one which would give me time to contribute
properly to cygwin or gcc.

>>I wonder if there might be a chance of being able to build
egcs using cygwin-1.1.0
in the near future? I know that it has not been possible during
the egcs evolution
before. But, perhaps the time has come to incorporate patches to
the egcs
development branch to make it build under cygwin-1.1.0?
