We already have fenv.h in CVS, so it will be in 1.7.8 automatically. That
means this isn't really a -devel thing, so redirecting:
Hey, main list! Are we still expecting 1.7.8 by the end of this month?
cheers,

Early Feb is more likely. From my POV there's just that new issue with
stdio blocking each other. Chris, are you still working on something
for 1.7.8?
Other than that, I'd appreciate if lots of people would start testing
developer snapshots. There were some changes to the path handling
code which *might* break handling of unusual filesystems. I guess
we should make a test announcement...

Dave, I'd recommend allowing that patch to gcc, which requires fenv.h,
to be committed, given that the 4.6 window is closing soon...

...and it'll force the two people who might actually try to compile
bleeding edge gcc 4.6 to go ahead and install -- and test -- the cygwin
dev snaps.

+1
I see no reason why cutting edge GCC can't require a cutting edge
Cygwin.

How about this issue since 1.7.7:

I, for one, have not seen this error. Maybe I'm not building as
large projects as you do, but either way, it would be helpful if
you would try to track it down.
For instance, do you have a stacktrace, using the latest snapshot, or
better, Cygwin from CVS? Did you try to back out the changes from the
20100901 snapshot to see which one of them is the culprit? From the
ChangeLog I don't see anything obvious.
