Now for something completely different:
Did anything happen in the gcc 4.x world which would help us to get a
gcc 4.x for Cygwin at one point? Are some of the problems reported in
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-05/msg00044.html fixed in the
meantime?
As for Charles' options how to go on:
(1) either you drop ada and java support, and we live with the
ever-increasing brokenness that will accumulate in the sjlj code, or
(2) you switch to dwarf2, we keep ada and java, but loose the callback
stuff and break backward compatibility.
(3) you release TWO entire SETS of compilers: an sjlj one with only
C/C++/Fortran, and a "real" one with DWARF2 and the full compiler
suite. This is a support nightmare; I recommend against.
I'd opt for option 2.
Dave? Charles? Anybody?
FWIW, I would opt for dwarf2
