No, but that reminded me, the libtool fixup script needs a small tweak to adjust. I just pushed that to Ports git. > I just started a build and test cycle using your updated patches+cygport > script; since you have about a million packages to maintain, I may as well > take care of releasing this and free you up for other stuff. OK. FHI, last month, I tried sending the following patches upstream: top-level: fix config.rpath for cygwin/mingw http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-07/msg01578.html http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-07/msg00181.html http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-07/msg00563.html cygwin/mingw: update LIBGCJ_SONAME http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-07/msg01579.html libjava: add comment to libtool-version http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2011-q3/msg00023.html AFAICS they've gone absolute nowhere. Maybe you'll have better luck. Yaakov
