Hello,
`configure' of binutils takes a HUGE time because everytime it goes
`checking for ld used by GCC' it takes a LONG time just to figure out
`ld is not GNU ld' (??!!). But at least it works. When I configure gdb,
it just refuses to use it. Any ideas?
bash-2.02$ echo $PATH
/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/bin:/usr/local/i686-pc-cygwin32/bin:/usr/local/i586-pc

It's being looked at. For now,
$ env LD=/path/to/ld configure [options]
I and others build egcs/binutils/gdb/etc in a single tree, and never run
into this problem/bug.
You may want to subscribe to cygwin mailing list where these issues are
discussed. See http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ for info on joining
the list.
fyi, you should really configure Cygwin egcs as i586-cygwin32 for variety
of reasons.

Mumit

libtool-1.2b and earlier had a problem with backslash path separators
which bash would treat as escape meta-chars causing ld to be not found
at all! I suspect that you are using an ltconfig generated by
libtool-1.2b or earlier.
Ever since 1.2d libtool now converts `gcc --print-prog-name=ld` to a UNC
path which cygwin b19 and b20 can understand. I need to fix this
*again* for libtool-1.3, because the latest cygwin snapshots don't grok
UNC paths anymore =(O|
Cheers,
Gary.

Well, it is ltconfig's fault. ltconfig looks for `ld', not `ld.exe'.
Setting LD to the proper absolute path bypasses the above problem.
