Problem running xgettext after compiling gettext 0.14.1 with gcc 3.3.3

[Peter Rehley]

Hi,

I am working on a project where I had to recompile gettext using gcc 
3.3.3.  I'm using cygwin 1.5.12.  It compiled without issues but when I 
went to run some of the programs, a windows dialog box pops up showing 
the following message:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on 
OK to terminate the application."

I've tried running the application through gdb  and it shows the 
following messages
gdb ./xgettext

(gdb) run

/home/peter/tmp/gettext-0.14.1/.inst/usr/bin/xgettext.exe

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Program exited with code 0200.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb)

It doesn't seem to get me to a place where I can look.

When I did a cygcheck on the xgettext file this is what was shown:
.\xgettext.exe
   .\cyggettextsrc-0-14-1.dll
     .\cygintl-3.dll
       c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL
           C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
           C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.dll
           C:\WINDOWS\System32\RPCRT4.dll
       c:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
     .\cyggettextlib-0-14-1.dll
   c:\cygwin\bin\cygexpat-0.dll

xgettext installed from mirrors shows this:
Found: c:\cygwin\bin\xgettext.exe
c:/cygwin/bin/xgettext.exe
   c:\cygwin\bin\cyggettextsrc-0-14-1.dll
     c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL
         C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\System32\RPCRT4.dll
     c:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
     c:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-3.dll
     c:\cygwin\bin\cyggettextlib-0-14-1.dll
   c:\cygwin\bin\cygexpat-0.dll

I've attached the verbose output along with a cygcheck of my system.

When I tried build gettext with gcc 3.2, I didn't get these error 
messages.  I'm not a gcc expert, and I'm only guessing when I say it 
seems like it might be a problem with a gcc and creating dlls. (I've 
also tried 3.4 and am having the same problems).  What other 
information would be helpful that I haven't provide here?

Thanks,
Peter
