You're right.
Eli> The right place is etc/PROBLEMS.
This, however, I have doubts about: 3.4 appears to be what Cygwin
installs by default, so presumably this problem will hit most Cygwin
users. I think if the note were in INSTALL, people would be more
likely to see it.
Regardless, I think the INSTALL file could be improved a smidgen, with
this change:
--- INSTALL 26 Jul 2006 19:19:06 -0700 1.115
+++ INSTALL 30 Oct 2006 13:25:59 -0800
