Why are you in an msysdvlpr shell?  You aren't developing *MSYS*, are 
you?  Just use a regular MSYS shell, in MinGW personality; otherwise 
you aren't using MinGW to compile, and you are stuck with the ancient 
gcc-2.95.3 compiler, building applications dependent on msys-1.0.dll.

Strange.  I don't recall a uname that didn't support -o.  It's been a 
long time since I worked on SVR2; I thought even that had it, but I 
could be wrong.  No matter; what does `uname -a' say?

That would likely be from MSYS-1.0.10 then?  The difference in bash 
version may account for the difference in observed behaviour.

I would recommend that.

Why would their SVN be setting up the compiler suite?  Or have I 
misunderstood you here?

I wouldn't like to comment on that, but I would definitely question 
why you think you should be using msysdvlpr; there should be no valid 
justification for that choice.

MSYS has which; MinGW doesn't have commands, other than those which 
comprise the GCC compiler suite and its supporting binutils.
