It is too well stabilized for the changes cygwin would require to be incorporated. I have been spending my time on 4.3, in the faint hope that it may become a cygwin release, and because a few issues I have been involved in solving have been accepted for correction (more so on IA-64). 4.3 has worked well for me whenever I wanted something newer than 4.1.release". Although, since I have to operate in a cygwin environment I amhaving my doubts.
The similarity of your results to Christian's convinces me that yours are valid. Some of the test reports don't appear to be standard gcc versions.It appears that my results compare reasonably to Rob1weld's and ChristianJoensson's May 24th results.
I don't think it has been incorporated in cygwin snapshots yet. The official way would be to find Dave's newlib patch submission. I had to pester Dave for help to get my version of it right. 4.3 won't build at all without something resembling this (attached), and 1 or 2 testsuite cases are more severe than the build requirements.How do I find/apply Dave Korn's patch to stdio.h / newlib? Is it incorporated into any Cygwin contributed snapshots, or is it a pure manualsource edit?
