setup/symlinks/gcc/chown question

[Karl M]

Hi All...

If I reinstall gcc/mingw (c++ and core four packages total) and then do

ls /lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4

I see the links correctly interpreted as links (ls shows them with name -> 
name), but after I do chown -h on one of the links, ls shows it as name.lnk 
(and this corresponds to gcc -mno-cygwin... giving me an error that it an't 
fine cc1.exe).

If I delete and create the link myself (ln -s 
../../i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4.cc1.exe), then all is well and chown -h (or -R) 
does not break it.

Thanks,

...Karl
