I have updated gcc for 64bit Cygwin to the latest released version. There aren't any Cygwin specific changes introduced since 4.8.1, so it should work similarly. The last 32bit 4.8.x build didn't go so well, will try again this weekend. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
