Thanks for pointing that out. In any case, it is not a gcc 4 issue,
since it also occurs with the gcc 3.4.x cygwin distribution. It's
possible that there is something wrong with my configuration, but that
would surprise me a litlle since things worked fine with 1.34.1. If
not, I wonder whether this could be an instance of increased support
for mingw gcc in 1.35.0 at the expense of cygwin gcc support?
