...the internet. I needed a copy of _G_config.h from gcc-2.95.3 for MSys
gcc (5 year old packaging bug). I figured cygwin's version would be a
good starting point. But that old version of gcc for cygwin has long
since vanished from *our* mirrors.
Enter google, and
http://ptolemy.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII2.0/cygwin.htm
Who provide (with -src) a self-extracting archive that unpacks into a
setup.exe-equipped release/ directory, with a custom setup.ini and a
specific set of packages (needed to build ptolemy plugins, I guess).
And there's gcc-2.95.3-5.tar.bz2, with its _G_config.h file, which
worked like a charm. The internet is a wonderful thing.
