2346addition, the Cygwin GCC 3.4.4-2 has problems with generating debug
2347info. Cygwin users are advised not to use these versions of GCC for
2348compiling Emacs. GCC versions 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, and 4.1.2
2349reportedly build a working Cygwin binary of Emacs, so we recommend
2350these GCC versions. Note that these versions of GCC, 4.0.3, 4.0.4,
