Hey now, go easy on the Suse folks.  The end result of their changes will be a
much more solid and complete cross compilation system for Cygwin.  Most of the
problems that we are running into are just due to me not keeping a cross
compile tree that I rebuild at least once a month so that too many changes
don't pile up for us to handle all at once.  Like I said, that was due to my
hard drive being out of space.  If you can believe it, my Linux-boxen only had
a 6 GB hard drive.  I have since upgraded it to a 20 GB hard drive.

Hmm... along those lines... does anyone have any AGP video cards, 20 GB+ 7200
RPM hard drives, 256 MB PC133 SDRAM's, Pentium 3 550 MHz+ CPU's, Pentium 4's
of any variety, P3 and P4 motherboards, Athlon XP 1700+, Athlon XP
motherboards, or any other such hardware that they need to offload???  Just
checking.  You know, cause I could spend more time on Cygwin/XFree86 if I
didn't have to spend so much time healing after the battle with the fiance
everytime I spend money on computer parts (which isn't often, because I am
starting to learn).  Remember, I am a poor college student.
