As a test case, I'd recommend the latest code I posted. If a MinGW application tries to open CONOUT$ with CreateFile, it gets INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, so the OS doesn't seem to think the console is available. Perhaps the handle for the invisible console isn't inheritable? Even if this is a Cygwin problem, it will still make sense for to fix libiberty; we can't assume that all users are using either Cygwin or a console, so we still have to handle the case that there is no console available when we want to spawn another program, with that program's standard streams redirected. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
