Hi all -
I'm having the same problem as the person who emailed in October
(child-died errors on any Cygwin command) when running on
Itanium/Whistler Beta (64-bit Windows 2000).
Has anyone built cygwin for Itanium?
(since its 32-bit compatibility mode is not working...)
Thanks -
Wes

You are a pioneer. Why don't you try to compile (and port?) Cygwin on
the Itanium/Whistler platform? Your efforts would be highly appreciated.

I thought the problem was in Whistler-64 not supporting enough Windows
functions, and that had something to do with MKS revoking their
commitment to port to it. MKS ksh runs sufficiently to be useful, so
you can't say the 32-bit mode is totally broken.

I've seen a problem with running cygwin in the 64 bit environment, too, and I agree, the problem is not in the 32 bit emulation. The initial bash shell starts and runs
fine, internal commands work as expected. The problem I'm seeing is when an external command is tried. The error generated is:
$ ls
97304241 [main] bash 1640 sync_with_child: child 476(0x700) died before initialization with status code 0x80
97305532 [main] bash 1640 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
$
I'm not able to pursue trying to fix this and its not a high priority for me. But I could spare a cycle or two to help test, if needed.

It is not likely that we will be pursuing a 64 bit port unless Red Hat
is paid to do so.

I might give it some time, but if anyone there has tried (and failed)
I won't have time to do better. I suspect it's "just" the process-handling...
Can you give some pointers/links to instructions?
