- <P>Finally, if you are using Cygwin to compile libstdc++-v3 on
- Win32, you'll have to get a version of the cygwin1.dll that is
- dated on or after February 1, 2000. This is necessary to
- successfully run the script "mknumeric_limits" which probes the
- floating-point environment of the host in question -- before this
- date, Cygwin would freeze when running this script. In addition,
- you may want to get a current version of libtool (say
- libtool-1.3.4 and above) as earlier versions supposedly had
- problems creating shared libraries.
