I've been meaning to ask this for a while - what exactly is a WAG? :-)

OK. This shouldn't stop a release though I assume, only a build from
CVS.

Yes, I'm seeing errors with this on my updated Cygwin very early in the
build. I did think it was my hacked about installation, but I guess not!

Unfortunately though, I don't know the answer either, but I guess the
change was in Cygwin as I didn't see it before you asked me to upgrade.

Regards, Dave.

Yes. Nevertheless, I have posted my request:

I found a solution to the above which will hopefully find its way into
the next Cygwin release:

A quick and *dirty* fix for this problem is to temporarily delete the
above two entries from your stdio.h file.

This post is just for closure -- both of the issues below have been
