Re: cygwin 1.5.18 breaks gcc 2.95 compatibility

After upgrading my Cygwin to 1.5.18, gcc 2.95 doesn't work anymore.

The same problem occures with the 20050709 snapshot. Reverting cygwin back
to 1.5.17 makes gcc work again.

I know that gcc 2.95 is unsupported and was removed from the distribution
due to a severe bug, but could you please try to fix this issue?

I use the old cygwin gcc 2.95 package. If you don't have it, you can find
it on http://www.duleba.net/gcc-2.95.tar.bz2 (please mind my slow ADSL
upload speed).


The following results are from 20050709 snapshot:


$ cat foo.c
int main(){
}

$ gcc-2 --version
2.95.3-10

$ gcc-2 foo.c
gcc-2: Internal compiler error: program cpp0 got fatal signal 11

[...]


Your example compiles ok with gcc-3.4.4, so why want you use gcc-2.x?
Maybe you can recompile gcc-2.95 if you really must use it?

However, gcc-2.95.3 was released 2001 which is about four years ago,
it is time to move on!
