How does the cygwin project choose which tools are patched for dealing
with .exe and what is not?
Thank you for fixing cp.
My next problem is "strip".
strip filename doesn't work if filename really is called filename.exe
$ strip /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#
strip: /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#: No such file or directory
$ ls -li /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924# /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#.exe
70650219154389122 -rwxrwxrwx 1 jreed Users 158621 Dec 22 15:02
/home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#
70650219154389122 -rwxrwxrwx 1 jreed Users 158621 Dec 22 15:02
/home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#.exe
Instead of attempting to fix every command with this problem, I'd prefer
to not have the .exe extension in the first place.
How do I disable this not-needed feature in gcc?
(I will not use old Windows that needs it.)
