Does the absense of libmudflap prevent optional bounds checking in C++? 2. Does the absense of libgomp prevent thread programming? If I need to rebuild using these libraries, where do I get them? I couldn't find them in cygwin setup. ________________________________ You don't need any C++ or libgomp components from cygwin to include these libraries in your new build. I think about everyone has disabled mudflap for cygwin, as it seems to work poorly. libgomp isn't enabled by default, as it is for linux. I supposed that was on account of the fairly high error rate, yet I thought it worked often enough to be worth testing. Leaving it out doesn't disable explicit threading, simply prevents the -fopenmp option from working. Configure option --enable-threads takes care of enabling an explicit threading library.
