Telling me what newlib is would greatly help in this regard :-)

Do I understand correctly that Cygwin will provide llrint with the next 
gcc upgrade?

I understand that adding llrint to Cygwin is probably not hard at all 
for somebody familiar with Cygwin.  However, I am not such a person and 
I don't even have a Windows environment around to test any modifications 
I might make.

We are about to make an MPlayer release and unfortunately it will not 
compile on Cygwin due to the missing llrint.  I would appreciate to know 
if this is going to get addressed so that I can put an appropriate 
comment in the release notes.

TIA

Diego
