Problem including float.h with gcc -mno-cygwin

[Paul Stodghill]

That is a different and unrelated problem, I think.

barney-xp$ md5sum /usr/lib/gcc-lib/*/3.3.3/include/float.h
248cb979b88c788e88100b913eea6ce9 
*/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/include/float.h
248cb979b88c788e88100b913eea6ce9 
*/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.3/include/float.h
barney-xp$

The bug that I am observing is that /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include needs to 
appear on the search path before any of the /usr/lib/gcc-lib include files.

Thanks.
