Joe: An interested user.
Great!
Here's
the status of what's in the official CVS for the toolchain for native
Interix support.
I
submitted patches for gcc and binutils over a year ago. Some got applied,
some didn't.
Then
Softway got bought, and I just recently was able to get signed releases to the
FSF
with
my new employer on board.
Since
then:
gcc: I
have a few patches yet to re-submit (some for the first time, some
old).
There a couple of
patches that have been sitting a couple of weeks awaiting
attention.
binutils: In various states of repair. Since
getting releases signed I haven't had bandwidth
to get the
patches cleaned up and resubmitted.
gdb:
Nothing yet submitted, but otherwise in the same state as
binutils.
tcl,
tk, readline, ...: many need a minor tweak to configure to recognize interix,
but mostly
other than
that they just work. A few "real" patches are needed. All are
also
awaiting
bandwidth.
I will
take your comment "under advisement" (as I haven't played with
cross-platform
development) and (probably) submit a patch at some
point. Or you can if you wish.
(Whether the changes I have queued up for gdb are
sufficient to fix your problem,
I just
can't say, but in the case of gdb, I'm not horribly
surprised.)
