cp of course, but ...

Obviously I'm missing something.  It behaves in the same way.

The mingw32 targeted compiler is version egcs-2.91.66 19990314, whereas the
cygwin targeted one is egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (the Cygwin release I see).
These were downloaded from
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/egcs-1.1.2/egcs-1.1.2-cygb20.tar.gz

and
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/egcs-1.1.2/egcs-1.1.2-mingw32.zip

today.

I prefer the behaviour of the 2.91.57 - since it gives more information,
but I'd like to use the most recent compiler.
