Sorry to hear you are having problems. I have added the __cplusplus wrapper to wordexp.h. There also was a recently discovered issue with a recent patch that was breaking Cygwin builds that was patched today as well.

If you experience further problems, please post to the Cygwin list and here as well.

Hi,

I just found that wordexp.h is not C++ friendly because it doesn't wrap
declarations in extern "C". As a result, when called from within a C++
program, the wordexp() and wordfree() functions wind up as undefined
references during link.

I'd submit a patch but have already spent too much time today trying (and
failing miserably) to get newlib to build under Cygwin.

Thanks,
