I made an educated guess and did this:
1. Went to a mirror and got /pub/sourceware/release/binutils-2.10.tar.gz.
2. Built & installed it over /cygwin/usr.
That fixed the static linking problem but now my .dll fails to load right !
The circle begins - stuffed at the line of scrimage again !
Is that gcc-2.92.2-2 incompatible with the 6/00 "release" version of binutils ?
Should I roll back to the 10/99 "release" version of gcc-2.95.2 ?
What is considered stable ? How do I get in sync ?
Thanks again.

mount.exe is in cygwin
env.exe is in shellutils
both are in the net release.

Yes, but for new installations you don't need both.

Shouldn't make much of a difference.

No, just use "mount -f ..." to change the mount points. Read the
online user's guide for info. I use text mounts. Chris uses binary
mounts. Both should work.

I would suggest trying the CVS version of binutils. Else, use "gcc -S
..." to see if it's the compiler or the assembler or whatever that's
messing up the symbols.
