Subject: Re: problem with cygwin version of egcs
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 11:36:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990308193738.13807.rocketmail@send102.yahoomail.com> (raw)

Beginning with version b20 the cygwin package was built optimized for
i586.  This means that you will not be able to successfully use it on
a lesser machine.  You could get version b19 and the b20 sources and
build it optimized for i486 and you should then be able to use it or
cross-compile from linux.
