Hi, I simple changed the gcc to 4.1.2 or 4.2.0 and it was working. Sure, have recompiled all stuff (Libraries, coLinux-daemons, Kernel). Tons of warnings I saw, but colinux runs. Why your comment is so complicated ? Perhaps your binutils was to old for this gcc?
gcc-4.1.2-binutils-2.17.50.patch OR gcc-4.2.0-20070501-binutils-2.17.50.patch
Why you need ada? I compiled coLinux without and no problems.
CygWin as target should never use. Cross-Compiler creates the file linux.sys, this is a WinNT kernel driver and this has no support to use cygwin.dll. *-pc-mingw32 is the only one you can use as target for colinux.
Build colinux with "outside of source" is not supoorted. To many scripts depends on the root directory of source. The --srcdir is not for using this type. You would no have any 'Makefile' in your build directory and nobody would create subdirs there. This param is only to overwrite one of the internal vars from 'configure'.
Thanks for spell checking.

Hi. I've been so busy enjoying coLinux that it has been a while since I came back here.
After some searching I eventually found this page I am typing on - I imagine you bookmarked it.
I have coLinux running on one of the last days of 4.2.0 before the SVN changed to 4.2.1 - now I am working on getting 4.3.0 going. I am sorry my comment was complicated.
My revision of GCC 4.2.0 was in the preliminary stages - maybe my using coLinux and fixing GCC 4.2.0 made it work better with coLinux; then when you got around to obtaining 4.2.0 it was easier for you to re-build with it. My binutils is new.
coLinux works nicely with 4.2.0 why use 3.4 ?
"Why you need ada? I compiled ..."
Some people might want Ada (and Fortran), you only need "C" and "C++".
Did use MinGW and built "in-source".
coLinux is EXCELLENT ! - Glad to help
"Why not gcc 4.2.x?"
- For coLinux 0.7.1 with Kernel 2.6.12: the GCC 4.2 have to many warnings.
- For coLinux 0.8.0: Shure, it works, mostly of warnings are fixed now. Used a snapshot of gcc source. But the source downloads tends to remove after some time. Wish not an prerelease-4.2.0-20070501 as dad link later. We need a stable download link of gcc source. If that exist, we can switch to newer gcc on coLinux 0.8.0. Hm ok, see yust that, was released per 2007-05-14 now. Thinking about permanent to link ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/gcc/releases/gcc-4.2.0/ ... after some test ...
