cygwin 1.5.18 breaks gcc 2.95 compatibility

[Krzysztof Duleba]

After upgrading my Cygwin to 1.5.18, gcc 2.95 doesn't work anymore.

The same problem occures with the 20050709 snapshot. Reverting cygwin back
to 1.5.17 makes gcc work again.

I know that gcc 2.95 is unsupported and was removed from the distribution
due to a severe bug, but could you please try to fix this issue?

I use the old cygwin gcc 2.95 package. If you don't have it, you can find
it on http://www.duleba.net/gcc-2.95.tar.bz2 (please mind my slow ADSL
upload speed).


The following results are from 20050709 snapshot:

$ cat foo.c
int main(){
}

$ gcc-2 --version
2.95.3-10

$ gcc-2 foo.c
gcc-2: Internal compiler error: program cpp0 got fatal signal 11

$ strace gcc-2 foo.c > strace.out
