Ditto.  But I wouldn't expect too much help on either mailing list, though.
I doubt that anyone in glibc land would be overly interested in "windows issues"
and I doubt that anyone in the cygwin arena would have much experience with
this type of problem.

Maybe the crossgcc mailing list might be slightly better?  Regardless, I agree
with Ian that this isn't really appropriate here.
