I've built cygwin's emacs 23.1 package
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2009-08/msg00002.html). You could
take a look at the source to see what I did and try to adapt that to
your needs. Two things jump out at me from your output. First, you
should use gcc-4 rather than gcc-3; cygwin builds of emacs with gcc-3
are known to be unstable. Second, I applied a patch to get rid of
'-Wl,--image-base,0x20000000', which has also been known to cause problems.
By the way, this may be a good time to remind the emacs developers that
I sent some patches a while ago:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-06/msg00041.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-06/msg00330.html
Could you consider applying these now that 23.1 has been released?
Thanks.
Ken
