Most of the other things go through Cygwin compiled code (gdb/gdbtk itself). Also, the debug information is stored in the Cygwin way because the compiler is a Cygwin compiler, not a Win32 program. I actually followed Jim Ingham suggestion and, after looking a t the code, I understood clearly why he proposed we did it this way. -- Fernando Nasser Red Hat - Toronto E-Mail: fnasser@redhat.com 2323 Yonge Street, Suite #300 Toronto, Ontario M4P 2C9
