Is that the point where I have to say "na na na na naaa na"?  Just kidding.

For a start I applied the patch to CVS HEAD and ran a stock `configure;
make' from toplevel on Fedora 17 with Yaakov's Cygwin packages.

I can't link the Cygwin DLL:

/usr/lib64/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -luser32
/usr/lib64/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lkernel32
/usr/lib64/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -ladvapi32
/usr/lib64/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lshell32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I didn't look why it doesn't find these libs.  But this means the
-nostdlib flag is missing.  If I add it I get a lot of messages pointing
out missing symbols, though:

  .../cygtls.h:301: undefined reference to `__Unwind_Resume'
  .../bsdlib.o:bsdlib.cc:(.eh_frame+0x12): undefined reference to `___gxx_personality_v0'
  [...]

After a bit of digging I found that the -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions flags
are missing when building the C++ source files.

When building cygserver stuff, the flags -mno-use-libstdc-wrappers
-fno-rtti -fno-exceptions are missing, too.

In utils, I get an interesting error when building cygcheck:

  In file included from .../cygcheck.cc:13:0:
  .../newlib/libc/include/stdio.h:35:20: fatal error: stddef.h: No such file or directory

Newlib?  For a Mingw application?  The compiler instruction actually
contains the following paths:

  -I${srcdir}/winsup/cygwin \
  -isystem /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/include/w32api \
  -isystem ${srcdir}/winsup/cygwin/include \
  -isystem ${srcdir}-pc-cygwin/newlib/targ-include \
  -isystem ${srcdir}/newlib/libc/include

None of them should be used when building with the Mingw compiler.

Btw., why did you remove $(CFLAGS) from the definition of MINGW_CXX?
I added it just a couple of days ago explicitely to be able to build
the utils manually with different optimizing settings:

	* Makefile.in (MINGW_CXX): Attach $(CFLAGS) to allow providing
	build option tweaks to mingw compiler as well.
