Re: building OO.o on Windows with the latest cygwin seems to be unstable

hi!

there obviously are some problems in the current cygwin1.dll.

until now (snapshot 20050828) each new snapshot produced less hangs.

a temporary workaround here was to remove the -f flag for subshells in
"solenv/inc/startup/wnt/macros.mk" which on the other hand slows down
the build dramatically :-(

tschau...
