I haven't looked at Anders header files recently. The last time I
corresponded with him, he was talking about changing the include files
to use configure.
Also, IIRC, the newer header files actually broke cygwin in some strange
way.
I'll certainly investigate a patch if someone wants to send one.
We are talking about setting up a repository but I'm advocating that
we should really think about consolidating gcc/gdb/cygwin/binutils into
one coherent repository. Otherwise we'll have one more CVS tree which
includes, for instance, libiberty.
