I was about to say something similar about cross-compilers, but then I thought that Danny must be asking whether we want collect2 for the mingw32 target, because it seems like this patch would let collect2 automatically work for mingw32-hosted cross-compilers without further effort. The change for the mingw32 target would just be to no longer disable the use of collect2, right? I don't know what benefits it would have except that I've heard something about -frepo. It may be worth it just to conform with how GCC works on other platforms and to have one less MinGW local patch.

I've got Win98B. Still, the potential problem may only be Win95 specific...nonetheless, I'd be willling to test it out under Win98 if there is a possibility that such testing could proove to be useful... Paul G.

I don't know when/if that will happen. Apparently, DJ Delorie, the libiberty maintainer, has some outstanding objections to it. I the event, the patch applies cleanly to 3.4.0 development tree but does not apply to 3.3 branch unless we update the 3.3 libiberty to trunk. I see one potential problem with w9x Does someone have w9x to test on.

Ah, really too late to notice this. I have a box with English Windows 95 OSR2 and Chinese Windows 98. Will be glad to be of use. Best regards, Wu Yongwei On Wed, 2004-01-07 at 04:20, Danny Smith wrote: > > I see one potential problem with w9x Does someone have w9x to test on. > Danny |

Actually, I've found other problems as well. The collect2 part is no problem and works fine. The changes to libiberty in the collect2 patch. however. cause problems when redirecting stdin/stdout/stderr and subsequent problems with IDE's. I have a suspicion where to fix it.
