Hi there.
I've been chasing a bug I had when running programs using opendir and
compiled with -mno-cygwin. I traced the bug to
/usr/lib/mingw/libmingw32.a(dirent.o) in the latest mingw package
(mingw-20010130-1.tar.gz), so I downloaded the source of that package to
debug it. I created a new empty "test" dir in /cygwin-1.1.8-1/winsup, ran
../mingw/configure, than make.
There is no bug in the libmingw32.a(dirent.o) thus produced; my sample app
runs without crashing when I link with it, but it crashes when linked with
/usr/lib/mingw/libmingw32a. I noticed that files sizes for the objects and
libs produced from the source with gcc-2.95.3-2 are different than those in
/usr/lib/mingw. I used strip -g on my compiled objects.
So I suspect that by some packaging problem, some wrong objects got into
the binary mingw-20010130-1.tar.gz package.
