Re: Problem building GCC on Cygwin on Vista
Okay getfacl is reporting 'user::---' rather than 'user::rwx' for depcomp on my patched version of GCC. This leads to two questions ... How do I modify this to be correct ? Why is it different from gcc-4.2.0's ? Thanks for bearing with me.

Re: Problem building GCC on Cygwin on Vista
Ignore the previous post depcomp is under src/gcc-4.2.0 not build/gcc-4.2.0 ! Sorry to mess you about. I'll get some ACL results now ...

Re: Problem building GCC on Cygwin on Vista
Okay I printed out '$am_depcomp' which was effectivly 'gcc4.2.0/libcpp/../depcomp' and put an 'exit' at (effective) line 2888 and the file gcc4.2.0/depcomp does not seem to exist. Very strange as I found 'depcomp' before previously and its printing 'line: 2888: ./depcomp: permisssion denied' rather than 'file not found' still. Is this just another missing Cygin package again ?

When a native Windows app creates a file, it usually does not do anything special with the ACL, so it gets whatever the default inheritable permissions of the directory happen to be, which it looks like are not correct. You could also try a native editor that edits in-place instead of the usual "create new file with temporary name then rename". Except its not a file I have editted that is causing the problem, they are all behaving fine. Things are a bit slow at this end due to other tasks and I am running out of time before I am back home away from my Vista machine at my parents so this may have to be put on hold as getting back to the original problem place is taking longer than I though and producing meaning full results from examining source will take a while. Hopefully I will have some results soon...
