Hi Joe,
First to answer the question in the subject. The -5 appended to the
package-version name is the port release number. There have been
modifications to the package which are specific to Cygwin and there have
been 5 releases with varying modifications.

I don't know the answer to that question, but for Cygwin it doesn't
matter as Cygwin doesn't use those libraries. It uses a library named
NEWLIB and is always current with the CVS version of NEWLIB. In reality
for Cygwin libc == libcygwin.
Cheers,
Earnie.
