Hi Pedro,

    I'm very glad to find this msg and I'm trying to solve the cross-gcc
problems all these days. I have tried the cegcc-0.0.1 package and your sample
code from the package works on my pocketpc. I find several problem:
    1. The evc built exe can not load the dll built with cegcc, the program
freez and quit. The dll is only c library and does not contain any GUI codes.I
don't know how to solve this problem.
    2. The cegcc source code does not compile with my cygwin. The binutils
compiles ok but the gcc package will not compile. The following is the error
message:
