Hm, isn't that pretty much expected? Cygwin's infrastructure tries to be unixoid, so it's not surprising that the toolchain doesn't require such strange things? Otherwise even larger amounts of unix software wouldn't run, right? I am pretty sure halfway recent versions of mingw can be made to behave similarly, but I don't really see the advantage in doing so, to the contrary even. > # --enable-auto-import gets rid of a diagnostics linker message > LDFLAGS="-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -Wl,--enable-auto-import" > > Anybody know *exactly* what --enable-auto-import does?
