:-) Windows 95 hanged after several hours of configure/make run :-) I think 
it's a very good result - try to start notepad 100 times without whole 
system hang :-) I'll post the fix today.

Concurrently? So far I've always used one window to configure and then make.
I doubt it will produce something more useful then stress testing otherwise.
I guess that's why there's a smiley...

The signal handling with window messages is incompatible with non-reentrant 
16-bit user.exe module in Windows95... Windows 95 crashes when signal 
handler modifies the context of main thread while in user.exe code. The 
state of user.exe is unpredictable in this case.

I've just modified the cygwin code - do not send SIGCHLD to parent on child 
exit. It's the default behavior on windows 95 (it's still possible to 
override it with CYGWIN_SIGCHLD=1 environment variable). On NT the SIGCHLD 
signal is always sent to parent. My W95 machine runs now configure of cdk 
in one console, and the make of cdk in another console. I'll post the patch 
when the both processes will finish successfully:-)

hello all,

Are Sergey's latest precomiled binaries(cygwin.dll.....) compatible with
Win95?
If no, where is a one, and how to get it or make it by myself.

Thank you.
