  This calls for a little filtering of the mirrors.txt list in setup, doesn't
it?

  I was going to suggest this:

but something's borked in autotools-land, and after running aclocal, autoconf
and automake, my attempts to run configure using:

../apps/setup/configure -C --enable-dependencies --disable-shared
--host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin 'CC=gcc -mno-cygwin' 'CXX=g++
-mno-cygwin' --enable-maintainer-mode 

end in failure:

  Note that (despite whatever wrapping my mailer has done) that command prompt
appears on the same line as the "checking command to parse nm output" message
immediately after the dots; something has failed so badly it's crashed right out
of the configure script without so much as an error message.

  Diagnosing auto-* problems is a bit out of my field, but could this output
from aclocal perhaps be what's gone wrong?

  Cygcheck output attached, because I can foresee questions being raised about
auto* package versions.

    cheers,
