Robert P. J. DAY says:
apparently, the patchset for gcc 4.2.1 applies properly to the
source for gcc 4.2.2 and gcc 4.2.3. so, if you want, you can simply
add support for those last two just by augmenting menuconfig and
adding a couple symlinks for those two directories. seems like a
cheap way to add a couple new versions.
2 elf/librtld.os: In function `process_envvars': : undefined reference to `__access'
4 when building glibc-2.3.3 on cygwin
7 http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-glibc/2002-01/msg00071/glibc-2.2-cygin-shared.patch
8 Basically, make glibc use .oST as suffix for 'object static'
9 instead of .oS, since cygwin has trouble distinguishing .os from .oS
10 (Original patch had .on, but .oST is more mnemonic for 'object static')
12 glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3 also requires a patch, see
13 ../glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3-cygwin.patch
