Building GCC 4.3.0 on Cygwin...

[Angelo Graziosi <Angelo dot Graziosi at roma1 dot infn dot it>]

It is almost a month that the build og gcc-core 4.3.0 on Cygwin is broken:
---------------------------------------------------------------
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gfortran \

The last 4.3.0 source that builds fine is GCC-4.3.0-20070224-trunk-122292.

The strange thing is not that a development version of GCC is broken, but
that there is NOT much will to solve it for CYGWIN,
