I had sent an email to the list:

I had tried building GNU Emacs with GCC 3.3 and had encountered a
problem which I have raised as a bug in GCC bugzilla(#9816).
I tried again using a newer port of GCC 3.3 and GCC 3.4 (not an official
port though) from:
http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc33_mingw.htm
I am unable to build or even progress to get an emacs.exe (executable).
With the earlier port of GCC 3.3, I could build a bare emacs executable
which failed in compiling elisp files.
If someone has a link to a GCC 3.3 port on W2K (Win32/MinGW), please let
me know. I will try to do some extensive testing. Unfortunately, I do not
have the older GCC 3.3 port with me now!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the problem is happening on Windows 2000 (W2K) platform, I feel it is
not releted to
unexec and specific to ELF. On W2K, I am not sure it uses 'ld' for
linking. So, modifications to 'ld' may not be the cause.
with regards,
dhruva
