I'm in the middle of bootstrapping the latest 3.2 CVS trunk with the latest Cygwin on Windows 98. It is taking quite a while (on my old 266 MHz machine), but for the first time ever, I have actually reached the point in the build where the library .java files are compiling without error. So, it looks like it may be possible to build gcj on cygwin with a FAT system, after all. I have not been able to get the testsuite to run on my system (problems with setting up tcl, and therefore dejagnu), so I won't be able to report on that. But once the bootstrap completes, and the class libraries exist, I will let you know the result of compiling and running a "hello world" program. -- This signature intentionally left boring.
