Damn.  I forgot about symlinks.  We have to use a cygwin version of tar
if we want to use symlinks.  I'd rather not limit the installation right

I withdraw my request.

It is amazing that you've managed to get everything working with glibc
2.1.  Somehow I doubt that you'll be able to convince Ulrich to
incorporate any changes for this into the main sources though.  :-)
