In order to install Cygwin, I must use either the IE5 settings or a
proxy. Upon running the setup.exe program, if I click on "Use IE5
settings" first, then I have no problem; it finds the mirrors, and I'm
golden. If I click on "Direct Connection" and it fails, I click "Back",
and then click on "

I want to use insight with a source file redirected from stdin. I
suspected that I should have to bring up the gdb console window and
type:
run < myfile
But this doesn't appear to do anything other than run the program
directly. If I run it using the input console and type things in, it
works fi

This is rounding error and applies to all computer systems and all
programming langu
When building binutils with cygwin 1.7.0 cvs and snapshot, make reports that
iconv is missing. I think it also happens with gcc.
This was captured from cygwin's bash.
Is this a known issue? The only solution I could come up with is installing
a new libiconv, but the current libibiconv is from 2006.

Nope, not a Cygwin specific issue.
I get the same behavior at the same point on Gentoo perl 5.8.8 (x86
dual-Xeon), Debian Etch perl 5.8.8 (x86 P4), and SunOS 5.10 perl 5.8.4.
