Hi,
After compiling a snapshot, I tried to strip the cygwin1.dll using
the binutils strip command. After I did this I started seeing this
windows dialog box appear:
"ls.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL F:\cygwin\home\peter\tmp\cygwin1.dll is not a
valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation
diskette."
I first tried this on cygwin 1.5.18 using binutils 20050610. I then
updated my cygwin to the latest snapshot and tried again, and I got
the same message. I then tried rebuilding binutils, just to make
sure it wasn't a binutils build issue, and received the same error
message when I used this recompiled strip.
Let me know is you need additional information...cycheck output for
snapshot is attached.
Peter
