> 
> - Elimination of the /tmp\foo errors from various binutils tools.
>   (Brought about by using a newer version of libiberty when building)
> 
> - No more "impure_ptr" errors when compiling with -mno-cygwin.
>   (After exhaustive debugging)
> 
> - No more linking of libm.a since libm.a is really libcygwin.a.
>   Patch from Ron Parker:

> 
> - Enable -Bdynamic, -Bstatic and linking of dlls on the command line.

> - Defines -Dunix when -mno-cygwin is not specified.  This was discussed

> 
> - Does not automatically define any WIN32 or WINNT environment variables
>   when -mno-win32 is specified.
> 
> - Eliminates usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include files.

> - Fixes windres for correct handling of icons

> Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory.
> It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the gcc and
> binutils tar files.  None of these are needed for further operation of
> gcc or binutils but you can keep them around if you are interested in
> reinstalling everything later.  The setup.log file contains diagnostics
> that will be helpful if your installation failed for some reason.
> 
> As usual, I have only updated sourceware.  The gcc and binutils files
> will take a while to propagate to the mirror sites.
