CL.exe does this, too. I just found out that you can specify link options if you include them after a /link option at the end of the command. cl <compiler options> <source files> /link <link options> If it works for GCC to have link options appear after the filename (I'd try it but I don't have cygwin installed here at work) then the attached patch might work without having to override anything. (It works for me.) Jason.
