Hi,
I got MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe and I am only working with this.=20
Now looking at libiberty I found memset etc. as Supplemental functions.
How do I know if I am using this part of the library or not?
And so I link automatically the library into my code or only against it
and use the win32 dll afterwards?
Thanks for any comments
Martin
