Tnat depends on the makefile.
One case I can think of is the cygwin dll.
I have had to figure out how to build it.
Instead, I am working on GCC 3.1

Hello.
I would like to make a request of Cygwin's package maintainers: please leave
the generated config.cache file in the source package.
I suggest this to aid in rebuilding from source packages. As it is, those
who want to rebuild there own binaries have no idea what config options were
used in the standard cygwin build. The user who wants to rebuild the source
with config option A may
be losing the options X, Y and Z used in the original cygwin build.
Thank you.
