Then I reinstalled my personal stuff, which was fine except for compiling. >>> >> >>This implies the problem is with glibc rather than gcc (not that this is >>very helpful). > > > I fail to make the distinction between the two, both seem to be closely > entertwined and both come from GNU. > > To be fair, this is not a major nuisance, it never takes me a great deal of time > to fix (30 minutes usually), and since the resulting executables far outperform > anything I can make run under windows I'm not unhappy with gcc/glibc.
