All,

Sorry this isn't from my regular mailer ...

What does ls -l /usr/bin/*gcc* show you?

From bash, it looks like:

swootton@swootton-pc1234 /usr/bin
$ ls -l /usr/bin/*gcc*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 swootton Users 93717 Jun 7 17:02 /usr/bin/gcc.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 swootton Users 16183 Jun 7 16:13 /usr/bin/gccbug
-rwxrwxrwx 1 swootton Users 93717 Dec 5 16:25 /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gcc-3.4.4.exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 swootton Users 7 Dec 5 16:25 /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gcc.exe -> gcc.exe

All I don't know if anyone noticed the


-rwxrwxrwx 1 swootton Users 93717 Jun 7 17:02 /usr/bin/gcc.exe

and


-rwxrwxrwx 1 swootton Users 93717 Dec 5 16:25 /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gcc-3.4.4.exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 swootton Users 7 Dec 5 16:25 /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gcc.exe -> gcc.exe

lines..


Could it be possible that you are running the Jun 7 version of gcc.exe when you are thinking that you are running the gcc pointed to by the symlink? As a WAG I think you might be and bash/cygwin is trying to figure out which command to ** actually ** use.
