[Mingw-users] problems with network drives

[<ef...@gm...>]

Hi all,
I've problems when starting MingW32 gcc 2.95.3-5 from a Novell network dri=
ve; as you can see below both MingW32 versions are located on the same net=
work drive, but only 2.95.2 works:

as you can see the working version uses backslash while the newer non-work=
ing version uses the forward slash...
setting GCC_EXEC_PREFIX doesnt fix it although the output is then slightly=
 different...

any ideas how to fix this behavior??
