 Oops, where my thoughts were... What should have been here is that 
"only gcc-2.95.3 could perhaps be capable to build a rock-solid C-
library for Cygwin"...  My experience with gcc-3.x in building any
tools, libs etc. C-stuff has been negative. It seems to be quite
common experience that Insight cannot be built with gcc-3.2 (for
Cygwin-host), but even binutils built using gcc-3.1.x or 3.2.x have
failed on the Win32-host... So building Cygwin-hosted tools on Linux
really doesn't need one to have gcc-3.2 but gcc-2.95.3-something
there as the 'production compiler'. Maybe gcc-3.3 or 3.4 then
works again with the existing (or they are already fixed) sources
ported for Cygwin...
