This patch breaks native bootstrap on mingw systems that use
cygwin1.dll-dependent bash and development tools. As such, that would
be a regression against all versions of gcc since at least 2.95.3
I did not see an approval of this patch in GCC-patches. Was it approved
off-line?
The ' CMD //c' (with 2 slashes preceding the switch rather than the
one documented for cmd by Micrsosoft) is a MSYS-ism that causes
problems with non-MSYS shells (including cygwin bash, ZSH, and the shell
provided by MS in its SFU package)
Prior to this patch, GCC bootstrapped just fine (with or without the earlier
abs_srcdir patch that broke MSYS build) on mingw using the cygwin bash shell,
make and configure. Using cygwin shell rather than the MSYS shell means that
DejaGnu testsuite can be run. The last time I checked this was not
possible with MSYS.
