Re: Compilation of 5.3 on Cygwin under Win2000

["Nick Kelsey" <nickk@ubicom.com>]

Hi,

#4 - The Cygwin install uses a newer version of Bison that doesn't seam to
like gcc or gdb much. Run the cygwin install again and under Devel, Bison,
choose version 1.35-1.

I havn't looked in to the root cause at all though.
