[Mingw-users] make.exe dies with cygwin heap error when cross-compiling gcc-4.1.2

[Vasanth A. <vas...@xi...>]

Hi,

I am trying to cross-compile gcc-4.1.1 for arch powerpc-eabi for MingW. I am
using the MSYS shell for the cross-compile.

About 4 or 5 hours into the build during make all, make.exe dies with a
weird cygwin heap error.

C:\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe: *** couldn't commit memory for cygwin heap, Win32
error 487

Here is the full command: 

/y/head/ppc/build/nt/bld_gcc/build/./gcc/xgcc

C:\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe: *** couldn't commit memory for cygwin heap, Win32
error 487

Re-running "make all" does not encounter the error and the full
compile/install completes successfully.

I see the same error on two different machines (WinXP SP2 and Windows 2000).

Here is the list of packages I have installed:

1. MingW-5.4.1 
2. MSYS-1.0.10 
3. Extract MSYS-1.0.11 on top of MSYS-1.0.10 
4. Add in MSYS-1.0.11-Packages (gawk, csmake, cpmake so on). 
5. Add in msysDVLPR-1.0.0-alpha-1 (because I needed to build sed-4.0.9) 
6. Replace make.exe with csmake.exe

Any ideas? Why would an MSYS binary put out a cygwin error? I do have cygwin
on the machine, but it is not on the path and definitely out of the way.

I have read posts about a similar sounding issue with the error message
"couldn't reserve cygwin heap space" and have followed the suggestions on
those thread (rebase msys-1.0.dll to 0x30000000). That did not change the
above behavior.

thanks for any help,
Vasanth
