How about adding a line in the FAQ to the "how to build cygwin" (104)
entry
stating that the "configure ; make" mentioned does produce a Cygwin with
all
debugging symbols?
And the link in the FAQ is wrong:
"How can I debug cygwin" (entry 105) says:
"To build a debugging version of the Cygwin DLL,
you will need to follow the instructions at
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC102."
The above should point to entry 104, not 102.
