Re: gdb build troubles

[Chris Faylor <cgf at cygnus dot com>]

You'll probably have a lot more luck diagnosing this problem if you
send mail to cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com -- that's the cygwin
mailing list.  You can subscribe to it by sending email to
cygwin-subscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com.

When you report the problem there, please attach the output of
the command "cygcheck -r -s -v".  It sounds like something is
not setup right on your system and this will help diagnose where
the problem is.

As a wild guess, it sounds like your floppy drive is mounted as
some kind of directory that configure/make uses.  You can see your
mount table by typing 'mount'.

If nothing is obvious there, then please send email to the above
cygwin mailing list.
