It needs to be using 'gcc -mno-cygwin > -E' instead of 'gcc -E'. To build a non-Cygwin version with Cygwin's gcc, I suspect that you will need to use something like: ./configure --target=i386-pc-mingw32 ... or CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' ./configure ... or CC='gcc -b i386-pc-mingw32' ./configure ... I haven't checked if the above work with Cygwin, but (IMHO) they probably should. I can't see any way that configure can automatiacally deduce that you wish to perform a cross-compilation (which is basically what building for an i386-pc-mingw32 target on an i386-pc-cygwin32 platform amounts to). -- Glynn Clements <glynn(a)sensei.co.uk&gt;
